bump_fn posted:temporarily embarrassed millionaires but w accents I don't think that's quite accurate. The mentality that keeps people voting conservatively in the the UK is less to do with aspiration (though that is an element) and more resignation. People don't generally think they'll be the one making millions, but they're afraid that if they risk interfering with those who do, then they could stand to lose what little they have in the fallout. Naturally, when the proles have an ever-diminishing amount to lose, this becomes less effective.

augias posted:is canada the consensus leastbad anglo country? ireland? whatever the answer you're all very ugly I don't know if it's fair to count Ireland considering the widespread use of Gaelic. Canada or New Zealand is perennially the second-best English-speaking country. The US benefits from a great treasury of merit owing to our outsize contributions to the world.

Isn't age the best predictor for voting patterns in the UK? As ever, the olds are the worst.

In the time of Thatcher and New Labour there was widespread suspicion that benefit claimants were getting a free ride, but welfare cuts from 2010 onwards have become pretty unpopular among most of the population. augias posted:is canada the consensus leastbad anglo country? ireland? whatever the answer you're all very ugly lol not Ireland Here's the main reason

At the very best, the average Irish person can maybe remember enough gaeilge from school to ask if they can use the toilet. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 800 years of occupation left the island pretty loving anglo in the grand scheme of things

see the problem here is it looks like some are looking at shittiest anglo country from an absolute shittyness perspective, while others are considering shittiness per capita, an an absolute scale yeah america's gotta be the shittiest but when you consider the respective populations the individual brit is much much shittier

The thing that makes the U.S. the worst Anglo country is that they wasted their potential. They quit the empire and instead of doing away with all the poo poo things about Britain they just went "nah let's do the same things but on a bigger scale lol". Also lets poorly educate our citizens to the point where they're functionally retarded, give them unrestricted access to guns and then charge them their life's earnings to fix them when they inevitably shoot each other. Basically British empire 2, the sequels are always worse.

At least the brits are trying to atone for their shittiness by choosing to commit a drawn-out ritualistic national suicide.
