This is true but I wouldn't phrase it as an education issue. It's a government issue. The problem is that our government (including local government) chooses not to engage in the actual problems which matter to people's lives.
Telling me "there is no way to use your vote to get your landlord to lower the rent instead of taking four overseas holidays a year" is like telling me "there is no way to use your vote to deal with the poop in the drinking water." It's an admission that electoral government is not here to help you, and therefore is an abdication of legitimacy.
