This clearly shows they don't understand near enough. Besides, not only wether there's something called "Jr. High" in England or not doesn't change math or what it's used for, I bet you most of what's learned in math courses in English schools is pretty much on par wioth other developed countries, names apart. Also, being math math, I doubt the order at which much of it is teached or perceived complexit of the matter at hand differs much either.
Math (and specially probability) can be extremely usefull in most of decision making (let alone when it comes down to things like economy). I understand that politicians can't all be math geniouses and that they have aides and, but a basic understanding would go quite a long way to actually understand what these people say, specially where there's controversy.
And, again, this is just ridiculously basic, and even worse than it seems at first look, since some of the ones who got it right may have it right for all the wrong reasons.
