"Some folks will notice but they'll be ignored because folks really want to believe."

The UK doesn't really have a significant number of people who vocally and unwaveringly support particular political parties. This may be because there is a greater proportion of political cynics in the UK, or perhaps it merely appears that way because of our smaller population.

Regardless, the way politicians are portrayed in the media, and the general perception of politicians in general, is almost entirely negative.

Oh really? Half of the Labor/Conservative vote isn't reliable?

In any event, the belief at issue need not be in a political party but in "what govt does".

No; but people vote for what they consider the least worst option, not because they actually like the politicians. There's certainly very little vocal support for them!
