Observing from outside, UK politics looks really grim.

Neck and neck with US? As an American I feel like the UK is both better (some social protections and healthcare), worse (social mobility, pay, legacy monarchy shite like hereditary house of lords BS), and the same (private companies and the wealthy lobbying away what is right, elected officials selling the silverware by privatizing shit, debt, shooting themselves in the foot with economic suicides credit, tariffs...).

Anyone else have thoughts? Which is the worse country to live in for the average person?
