“Seems”? Having spent nearly a decade working for a British entity I can not think of a single case where the bureaucracy has improved. In fact, it has universally in my own (obviously narrow) experience gotten worse! In no other country have I experienced so many layers of people eager to get in the way of you carrying out your core work duties or coming knocking on your door asking you to fulfil their “essential” requirements that just happen to be exactly what motivates their role in the first place.
