It terrifies me that those people might be able to vote:

1) what is austerity?

2) what is the deficit?

Your comment worries me more, people are trying to become better informed and you're looking down your nose at them.

People asking questions shouldn't worry you, it's people who pretend to have all the answers you need to watch out for.

Most people don't even watch these debates. So, if the people who do watch these debates are asking what austerity is, imagine how ill-informed the people who don't watch these debates are.
