I think if your comment draws downvotes, it would be because it implies that simply because the UK is in a better place overall, that efforts to improve are unnecessary. Just because you're doing okay doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying to improve. This applies so much more heavily as scale increases, also. A country should always strive to do what is best for its citizens, and for that, we need to always be examining potentially problematic areas.
