Absolutely.

One time during college, the prof had a 'joke' question on the test asking who the current prime minister was, and they next day was quite upset with the class when about half the people in the class didn't know.

But ..... I bet if you asked those same people what they thought about the Cons/Libs/NDP/Greens, boy oh boy, would't they have an opinion (most likely their parents) to give you.
