Yes, the English do have their documents from which they pull their decisions. But basically, their method goes back to medieval times, and as such we can see how the elite in top (the legal top, or any form of elite you can think of) is still the ultimate ruler. And these elites influence the decisions in their direction.

We see that England (the U.K.) is one of the worst nations sharing the national, financial cake with their own bottom poor of all nations in Europe. Okay, Bulgaria performs worse.

We, the USA, do actually worse than the Brits. Probably because we are divided into 50 states and we fully disrespect the US Constitution when the elite does not like it. The States are not doing what the US Constitution tells them to do.

On top of that, we have winner-take-all (all seats are taken in by majority winners, so all voters that voted for someone else are not represented by their own choice).

Most European nations have full representation, say 99% of the voters can point their fingers to the individual or party they hand-picked themselves with their own votes. We have something like 60% of the voters who can do that, just the majority.

We are not an Enlightened nation, which is not a problem if we would only say so. But, NO, we have to declare ourselves the best and most Enlightened and point at anything that supports our claim.

We don't look at the big picture. We only see a Blue reality or a Red reality. We don't see the world in full color. We abuse our bottom poor, don't give them education, and foreigners love to invest here because everyone works real hard to not fall into the bottomless pit while the foreign investors get their money back more than in nations where the voters are more empowered.

I can go on. The reason for the article is to expose the duality of the United States. It is schizo, bipolar. (Yes, I do love its people, but not its form of government.)

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it, Robin.
