Sure, "a few" isn't so bad when having a look at the general level of informed public opinion in other countries. The broad range of Scandinavian countries (and I'm including Finland and Iceland in this) seem to an informed and interested citizenship.

Yes, there are some wacky exceptions. The Swedish laws on prostitution is possibly as weird, ineffectual, and as dangerous as imaginable. The rise of right-wing populism worries me significantly.

Yet, overall, the Scandinavian countries remain the best examples of a union between liberal and social democracy today...
