> UK's parliamentary system was effectively a modern democracy It objectively wasn't, especially untill the Reform Act 1832 removed the rotten buroughs. In 1780 less than 3% of all people living England had the right to vote and that had only increased to ~15% by 186. Even universal suffrage for men was only introduced in 1918, while at least almost all white men had the right to vote in the US by the 1850's.
