Compared to US citizen approval for Congress, UK citizens love their government.
The “UK political system in need of improvement:???
IN need of ripping down and starting out all over again from scratch would be the only “improvement” that would be any use.
The system cannot be broken, May has her orders, as like Merkel and Clinton, they have a specific job to do for those who control. Social media news, will not publish truth, as the truth hurts.
