As someone that lived in Britain for 15 years until 2024, I'm not sure a nation with a GDP per capita lower than Poland, that is now poorer than every state in America, with a gang rape epidemic the government tried to suppress investigating should really concern itself with how other countries are ran.

You've confused the mean with the median. GDP Per Capita is not a measure of how well-off the people in a country are.
American states have a lot more income inequality than the UK does, which (due to positive "non-parametric skewness", I think) pulls their GDP Per Capita upwards.

I'm not arguing that the UK is a particularly well run country, I just provided the context that I am British because it felt relevant
> GDP per capita lower than Poland
Not true. While Poland's GDP per capita has been on the rise , it is still nowhere near the UK's.
