Which country is generally more right-wing: USA or UK?

[Tooting Carmen]

This is a serious question that I would like to debate.

Economic issues

US actually still has more government-owned industries/companies than the UK does - utilities, railways and airports are usually owned by either the federal, state or local governments in the US, whereas in the UK those things have generally been privatised.

Taxes in the US are generally lower than in the UK. So too are levels of welfare.

State healthcare in the US doesn't really exist as such. Private education is also probably more widespread in the US than the UK.

Social issues

My impression is the US has more extremes than the UK - basically, more people who are vehemently pro-gay and pro-immigration/multiracialism, as well as more people who are vehemently anti-gay and anti-immigration/multiracialism. By contrast, the UK has a lot more people who are centrist, neutral or indifferent to such issues.

So, which country is generally more right-wing?

How come?

How come?

If youre asking for modern times, USA is certainly more Conservative a few reasons why:

1. They are not letting in many migrants, While the UK is being flooded with migrants arent pakistanis like a third of london now
2. Gay marriage was fully legal in the UK before the US
3. The USA has lower taxes overall

Points two and three taken. However, the number of Latin Americans in the US, both in absolute numbers and per capita, is well in excess of the number of South Asians in the US.

Usa immigration policy.
Uk civilians

Brittish civilians seem more rightwing than americans.

It really depends were you go in America tbh I think americans are diverse in Political opinions, If you go to south east states like South Carolina and West Virginia people are very conservative more than UK, But there are also very liberal states in The US like California which are more liberal than the UK
