People living in the US do seem to get more freedoms and say in how the government runs things. Can the Prime Minister be impeached? no. Do you get much of a say in the running of local government outside of picking MP's from specific parties to represent you. Here you get to vote on all the big propositions that are being considered by your state or local government, much like a referendum.
When Tony Blair stepped down, he simply handed over the country to his buddy Brown and there wasn't a thing anyone could do about it. The UK government has refused to allow a referendum regarding the EU constitution, and totaly ignored 85% of the population that want one, and the 70% that say that they would say no.
BTW speaking of new EU legislation. You may soon have to say bye to P2P file sharing.
Europeans suspected of putting movies and music on file-sharing networks could be thrown off the web under proposals before Brussels.
