Sure, and the Conservative Party, who has enjoyed a very long period of uninterrupted rule, has been gradually sabotaging it with the obvious hope that is falls apart and market reforms can be implemented. Most of these differences have more to do with the legacy of the post-War period than anything about the current political situation.

The UK is also significantly whiter than the US is, which is something of a counterpoint to the idea that they're less bigoted, in my view.
