Which countries get it right?

If we had to copy-paste another country's entire politics to the UK, which country gets closest to your values?

One of the Scandinavian countries, or Finland.

Or just improving what we already have here.

Canada, New Zealand, a Nordic, or perhaps the Netherlands. But none of them would be a good idea and they’re all still flawed in their own ways.

Depends, I guess

Canada is probably the closest - infact, if I could I would copy pretty much everything from how their constitution and federal government works except for the senate

But I disagree with them on alot, just the closest I think

No where gets it completely right, they just succeeded at things you feel are important. For me, politically and from a civic perspective I like the Nordic countries. Socially and weather wise I like France and Iberia.

The nordic countries seem to be the consensus here, however, I’ll say their system works so well for them because of the situation their in. They have small populations with fairly high PPP. Norway especially thanks to their well publicised public wealth fund, have the ability to have well paid public servants, which makes up about a 1/3 of their workforce. Other Nordic counties are similar.

They have had a history of decisions that have put them in a fairly decent position to have a stable political theatre.
