You are missing my point. Nobody is interested in defense, they are obsessed by immigration and the EU.

I cannot remember anyone instigating a discussion about the military threat from abroad since the end of the Cold War. An invasion of immigrants and the EU, thats another thing.

So, yes, there is complete public ignorance about defense because they can not see any threat.
