A poll conducted by ComRes for the Centre for Policy Studies has found that widespread ignorance of our economic situation exists amongst the public.
The poll found that only 10% of the public knew that the British Coalition Government is planning to increase the national debt by around £600 billion by the end of this Parliament. Judging by the video that accompanies the report leading figures in the Coalition are the ones (at least partly) responsible for the UK's ignorance as they regularly confuse debt and deficit.
