I think it's well established that here is better than other places in the world, nobody is disputing that.
Nobody is suggesting Christianity is done away with, personally I can't see any christian values in the current government... therefore I can only conclude they are using the cover of the KJV which has been advocated by both the PM and the queen as a moral authority. And in many respects it is, and yet they don't abide by it, it's a case of 'do as I say not as I do'. The democracy we have at the moment is in a state of flux, as legislation is changed to ensure maximum compliance to the state and if you question the powers that be, demonstrate, protest, then you risk falling foul of the law when doing so. This democracy is therefore becoming less and less 'perfect'. “a lawyer with a briefcase could steal more money than a hundred men with guns” They can, and a politician with a banker can steal much more, perfectly legally... And the public bail out the banks, and institutions fail in their duty of care aided by the government as in historic abuse cases, and the public are the ones to pay making many a victim twice over. Some governments are corrupt all the time, all governments are corrupt some of the time, But let's just not kid ourselves that ours at the moment couldn't be better, or that they exhibit the virtues they demand because they very much do not.
