THE IMPORTANCE THAT WE IGNORE: UK vs USA
I might be making a more subtle point than you’re intuiting. There are a small number of differences in our governments that have rather outsized consequences.

That is that despite what we intuit, the class(rotatable) and caste(non-rotatable) systems appear, worldwide, to be as necessary as are ranks in the military, and the institutionalization of some sort of religion: they produce ‘mindfulness’ and mindfulness is necessary for inter-sexual, inter-class, inter-cultural cooperation.

UK vs USA DIFFERENCES
1) the added layer of barristers
2) the method of debate from Q&A in the parliament (vs our speech makers)
3) the monarchy as judge of last resort. “above the law in the restoration of the law”
4) the multi-party system instead of dominant vs minor two-party system
4) And oddly enough, the class system. (This)
-vs-
1) Written constitution and transactional law.
2) People, Natural Law, and Constitution as sovereign instead of parliament as sovereign.
3) Our supreme court under that sovereignty
4) Our ‘odd’ religious right that treats that constitution with the same respect as it does the bible – our internal defense against the irresponsibility of democratic socialism.

In particular, classes (rotatable castes) provide people with duty and respect for fulfilling them, regardless of their rank. The false promise of the american ‘aristocracy of everyone’ and the french ‘everyone under the pretense of peerage’ and the postwar british catastrophic experiment with democratic socialism have created the fertile ground for claims of oppression when all we observe is meritocracy. But meritocracy by a single standard where few are due respect, instead of a hierarchy of standards where all are due respect – WITHIN their competency.
