I'm doing research on places I've thought about moving and I wanted to come on here and see if anyone could answer a few questions I had about England and the UK as a whole. Before I get to far into it I do want apologize for the extensive paragraphs.
One of my biggest problems with the United States is what I view to be hypocrisy. The nations Motto has always been “Land of the free, home of the brave” but to me it seems closer to “land of corporate greed, and home of systemic racism.” If I were to move to England am I going to encounter similar hypocrisy or is what I see what I get?
I have a huge problem with the American political system. From my point of view there is so much wrong that it would take hours and dozens of paragraphs to go into, so I'll boil it down to this. In American politics there are only two forms of movement. The movement of a political party's agenda or the movement of a corporation's agenda. No one seems to care about the country, only how far they can push their party's agenda and how fat they can make their bank account. What is the political situation like in England and the UK as a whole?
Another problem I have with American politics is the pace of political power. If you were to look on C-Span (a television network that broadcasts the affairs of the US government) you would see that it is very slow and the process usually involves a representative or senator sitting in an empty room giving a speech to the walls around him. There is no debate no actual progress being made. Is the United Kingdoms political system similar if I sat in on a meeting of Parliament would I just see the same thing?
The American health care system is a mess and my family along with 137 million other Americans are in deep financial debt because of it. What is the healthcare system like in The United Kingdom?
American media consists of tragedy, tragedy, and more tragedy I have yet to find a news network in the USA that takes time to look at some of the good things going on in their communities or around the world. Every day of American media is a new “apocalyptic level catastrophe” and I'm getting sick of it, what is the news media like in the UK can you link me to a few local news sights?
EDIT: I've taken the liberty of highlighting the questions to make them stand out from the mess of text.
