How does the United Kingdom compare to most other developed Western countries? In terms of political affiliation? I know it is very probably more liberal than most Americans -- but what about its neighbors? For example, how do most Britons as a society -- and their overall government policies -- compare with Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, or the Scandinavian nations? Or even Latin American countries, if you want to consider them as part of the Western world? Does it have a better health care policy, a strong education system -- does it have less crime and social problems?
From Brexit, it does seem that there are still quite some conservative Britons -- or at least many anti-EU and populist Britons. Labour has not won an election -- in quite some time now. I've read somewhere that many British people apparently yearn for a return to their former glory days, instead of simply being America's partner in world affairs, although I am not sure whether this is true or not. Even Poland, a more traditional country, has apparently always strongly favored remaining with the European Union.
Exactly how liberal or conservative is Britain? As a country, compared overall to the other European and Western countries?
