Every country will have something to envy, that doesn't mean the UK is crap.It wasn't meant to be a serious comment. I did say 'we can't'. Everyone has a say and that's how it should stay.
I do however object to unscrupulous politicians who feed the less well informed with blatant lies and a press who do the same in order to manipulate large swathes of the public. Politicians can basically say anything in a campaign truthful or not. We have rules about lying in advertising campaigns. Elections should be no different.
In Finland they teach children critical appraisal skills and how to spot fake news and lies in the media. We are so far behind but there's a reason for that.
