Mystery:Why is England More Liberal than the United States?

Reasons for why England is substantially more liberal than the United States include:

• England lacks socially conservative intellectuals, perhaps due to its atheistic-controlled university system
• Workers unions are far more powerful in England than in the United States
• Gun control dominates England -- negating a healthy attitude of self-defense -- in contrast with the United States
• People in England believe in the theory of evolution, unlike most of the United States
• Churches have been in sharp decline in England, causing people to worship government instead
• A state-run church that became a social bureaucracy over time
• freedom of speech was only guaranteed as of the year 2000 nearly 300 years after the US
• The United States began as a rebellion against liberalism in England, both when the colonies were settled and by the American Revolution
• The welfare state in England is so thoroughly entrenched and used by people dependent on the government that any attempt by a conservative to reform it is met with hostility.
• England has never been as isolationist as the US and participates more in socialist-leaning groups like the European Union where it could be influenced. The US's characteristic way of being different allows for a more conservative view point.
• Unlike the federalism and decentralized government in the United States, England has centralized government that enables a small number of liberals to exercise more influence.
• England has a population density that is nearly twelve times more dense than the United States. Voting patterns show that high population density areas tend to vote more on liberal lines while low population density ares tend to vote on conservative lines.
