Is gov.uk actually better than places like Estonia or Sweden? Or is it just that info about it is in English, so HN talks about it more? (Accessible information is important, so I don't want to down play the importance of it.)
- rhblake 8y agoDefinitely better than in Sweden, where there is no central site similar to gov.uk to begin with. Many individual government agencies have pretty good sites though, and most are actually available at least partly in English. https://www.skatteverket.se/ https://www.skatteverket.se/ (tax agency) and https://polisen.se/ https://polisen.se/ (police) are two examples.
- jve 8y agoCheck this out for Latvia: https://www.latvija.lv/en https://www.latvija.lv/en Ofcourse not everything in English there, but you also have step-by-step instrucations, can submit applications, filter by state authorities, etc.
- flooq 8y agoProbably better than Sweden. Estonia did a great job and influenced the UK but GOV.UK is a much bigger project due to the relative population size.
