Could it have anything to do with the fact that the UK is a much older democracy ? ( the first English parliament was called in 1295 )

- kibwen 4y agoParliament itself is that old, but it's possible to argue that the UK didn't qualify as a democracy until the Reform Acts of the 1800s (and possible to argue against it too, of course).
- lostlogin 4y agoIs a country a democracy if people are blocked from voting because they are female? Obviously democracy is a sliding scale, but what was in place in the 1800s had a lot of headroom.
