Not necessarily idocracy.

I don't know the name of the person who runs utilities because they just work. I sure would know if there was a problem. This is the same with politics: when a country is stable and is moving ahead, people are not interested.

Look at the participation levels in elections: they are always high when there is substantial stuff on the scales. Otherwise it is moot.

That's true. Plus how the media/narrative works. EU is a very convenient scapegote for <everything bad happening in the country>. People are unaware how things works quite often and national politicians are "trigger happy" to blame everything on the EU…
