Lots of posters pile on to threads to condemn the UK, and apart from Scandinavian countries with generally much smaller populations and larger land masses, dont actually make constructive comments. I already know that Brexit has not improved anything. So please, can someone tell me where public policy is actively improving the quality of life for the population?

A different point but I’m surprised Australia comes out so well. I thought women got a rough end of the deal there??

No, you’re wrong. I work in a male dominated industry and have worked in Au and UK. UK is more sexist and far more inclined to block women in senior positions. The fact that the U.K. is crippled by its class system adds a whole other layer to blocking social mobility is another factor that most miss.

Also, the dominance of people from Eton / Oxbridge running this country is it’s biggest downfall. The decline in social mobility since the 1960s is huge and a major contributor to the poor performance of U.K. vs other countries.
