I thought this would be about Russia.

To me UK is in the top-10 most desirable countries to live in.

Functional democracy! How charitable. Especially as voter ID just came in this year (the issue is it fixes no real issue and just enables voter suppression.)

Not to mention the Government making noisy protests illegal (and more)

Go live in Russia, North Korea, Belarus, Somalia, Nigeria, China, etc to see how it can not function.
