From the UK. Our government definitely sucks, and has basically had the same hostile policies despite switching between different parties.

People wish that we would stop pandering to the US, at least to the level that we do.

Your government sucks for a lot of reasons, and being aligned with the US is the least of them. Many of your politicians were very vocal against Trump and wanted to campaign for his opposition. That interference is very unwelcome here. We don't give a flip what Europe thinks about our elected officials. We care what we think of them.
