Do you try to have an eye on world politics? (Yep, it heavily influences how the power games in your country are, and of course it always breaks down to the average, common people...)

I can't follow most of it, because I find it boring.

I pay attention sometimes, but most of the time it is just too boring.

I try. But I find that it usually takes more time to understand everything than I have.

I don't. I wish I did, but sometimes it's so complicated.

I have trouble paying attention to politics. There's some issues I have a better grasp of than others, but in general it just comes off as all the same noise to me.

I'm a really busy person, and I'm only going to read the news if I can get a concise general picture of what's going on in the world in about 20 minutes per day. I use "The Daily Beast" since they have a handy cheat sheet. And I pay just as much attention to world news as US or local news.

I hear what I hear, and read what I read, but I don't go out of my way to keep up with things. I've got too much else to think about, especially now.

I don't pay attention to politics. I know I should but I stay out of it because lack of interest and understanding. It bores me but it's good that there are people who do enjoy it and do pay attention. I hear stuff from some friends or family, that's enough for me.

i'm not average so I'm rather tired of voting for the more logical and long term effective options when so many are lazy nitwits that want instant satisfaction. Wonderful people screwing over the future of their kids and the planet *appluase*

Its only going to get worse if you keep ignoring it.

we are a country made up of people, not politicians. and we aren't alone, all the other countries are just like us.

it is our ignorance that makes us slaves.

Honestly? I really only pay attention to the politics in countries I love the most and even then barely at all.
I used to watch the news but 85% of the stories are depressing so I stopped.
