(No cheating) which country do you think has the most powerful passport?

As in they can enter nations visa free, or with visa-on-arrival.

I just saw an article about it. That country wouldn’t have been my first guess.

Haha it was really in response to the person who said they were surprised USA was 6th. As I’m sure they were thinking there must be way more countries than USA with more powerful passports and they were correct.
@waitingindepartures i think you need to find a different forum if you hate it so much. Doesn’t appear to take much to get you wound up. But hey - some people will take offence at anything

And this right here is why I hate Mumsnet and why there are other chat forums that mock it.

What a huge over-reaction to someone explaining something.

Technically speaking USA isn’t 6th, it’s -6th as 15 more powerful…! Pet hate of mine. Like when they award joint 1st then 2nd place 😄

To the op - this is why I love mumsnet. I like to see how others brains work differently to a question

You're just crabby

And this, right here, is why I love mumsnet. Because there are intelligent people who can show different ways of counting things/calculating things/different opinions, and post in the hope their points of view can be considered and discussed, hopefully without mocking.

Exactly, because the situation is often not always exactly as the soundbite implies and it's important to understand this and do your own research using an authoritative source.

For example, look at all those people who think that the annual utilities price cap of £2500 means that no-one will pay more than this amount each year.
