It is not a good thing that most people in a country are keen to care about political current affairs. Only an abnormal society needs ordinary people to care about political figures, political events and current news all day.
In fact, a good society should make people keen on learning, promotion, food, travel, entertainment, shopping, making friends, charity, stocks, fitness, clothing, housing, decoration and collection. Professional and non-professional self-improvement, such as,, and so on. People with little education are happy to gossip all day. This is a good society and the goal that politicians should strive for when they are full. As for a politician's first name and surname, or what position he holds, ordinary people don't have to care.
