The "state" of affairs?

It seems that more and more people are becoming less and less interested in the running of our country. Their ignorance may tell them that because someone from another country has been allowed to come to the UK and do a similar job they would have done, that their country does not really need, or maybe want them. This is obviously not the case, but more and more people are feeling this way. And also people are becoming less actively involved with politics, like voting. They feel that their government does not really care about what they think, or want, based on the fact that they see more and more people coming to the UK from other countries. They no longer want to be involved, but now feel they are being forced to do certain things that are required by the government, the government which they believe doesn't really care about them.

This position may only concern a small part of the population at the moment, but if these sorts of views are going to continue to be expressed, more and more people will start to fell like this. obviously many don't like the way our country is run, and they feel that the government does not care enough, and if the govenrment keep allowing this view to escalate, ignorant though it may be, how will be blamed for it,
the ignorant people, or the governments apparent lack of care.

Yes people are becoming less informed about politics and its decisions, but surely its the role of the government to ensure that people are well informed, and therefore not guided by ignorance. Sometimes the national news is not enough for people.
