Well, it is a sticker definitely good to stir up conversation. Actually, the attitude toward politics is comparatively calm and cool.
My personal conclusions are two points, one is good and one is bad (not exactly bad). the good point is in a well-developed countries. the legal and bureaucratic system are pretty much well definited. that means much less flexibility and ... loopholes. thus, it could reduce the interest and motivation to get involved in politics significantly. the other point is the history, europe and asia are relatively more passion about politics. the reason to be passion is not really just because they love it. Think about white terror and some harness caused by government (french revolution or china's culture revolution). If an area has been suffered from these big time, then people care about what is going on in politics, isn't it?
The first point is well supported by the low voting rates cross all developed counties. the second one may not be true, but might be applicable to US. The people here seems not sophisticated and care less about politics. the second one I was not that sure. the government suppression is another major factor. maybe it can say that developed area like US or Japan, seems there is no such history and not much government suppression in modern history, people gradually became less sensitive about politics atmosphere.
