mostly what happened in the uk is that spending increases were frozen so the cuts were in real terms rather than nominal

but yeah you have a better government when it comes to economics although obama did insist on that absurd tax cut when he took office

talking more long term than that

but anyway perhaps it has to do with the fact that there's a lot of politicians who can be isolated at lower level governments in the us when you can't do nearly the same for the uk, due to the lack of full federalization and the corresponding soaking facotr of many reasonably powerful subnational governments

Solution to UK government: each constituent nation of the UK develops and creates a single large piloted mobile suit. Then they fight and they fight until one is left standing.

The nation whose MS is the champion gets to call all the shots and the pilot gets a lifelong pension

there isn't much room to shove politically ambitious but dreadfully poor planners with connections into in the uk.

in the us a lot of them are easily appeased by being embers of part time state legislatures that only have to be way from whatever dumb business for 60 days every other year or whatever, in the uk it seems like most of them skip straight to parliament

Also the mobile suits are required to be super stereotypical. Insufficiently racist mobile suits will be disqualified

I hope you watched the show because the show is loving good and Mark Rylance is a loving godlike actor.

Thomas Cromwell was not really as cool as the show makes him look but he got a hard press in the history books so Mantell tries to give him a fairer shake by bigging him up a bit.
