The UK is absolutely doomed because those with wealth and power are content with gaining a larger percentage of a smaller pie for a minor overall increase rather than growing the pie and having a smaller percentage potentially but a fair amount more pie overall because that takes more effort. It's classic feudal class system thinking. At least in the US there's this mentality of wanting to grow the pie under the assumption you still want to grow your percentage of it but at the very least you end up with more pie either way and as a side effect others end up with more pie. I know loads of people who want to leave the country.
