The most common degree for UK politicians is PPE - politics, philosophy and economics.
I'm not sure the problem is an understanding of economics, it's an understanding of how the real world works, and how to make it better - they are often too easily swayed by big lobby groups with vested interests.

Law is also pretty common in the UK - though behind the accountants.
Science and engineering isn't even a category for occupational background of UK MPs in the following report.
