I would wonder, if you took a poll on the way out from voting and asked
one simple question about the content of the bill (for example, how long
the bill says data should be retained for), what percentage could answer it?

Perhaps such a question on the way in (with the right to vote
conditional on getting it right) would lead to more informed voting (but
I am not planning on holding my breath on that one)
