In that list, the US is at the bottom and the UK is second to the bottom. But that's because the list is alphabetical.

Instead, look at the list at the following URL. Britain does rather well, and the US isn't too bad, either.

The EU was a moderating influence on those right wingers who look to the USA for ideas. The EU enforces some pro-worker regulations, which people like Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Iain Duncan Smith will get rid of.
