I always found the british are more cynical, which makes it seem like they have less trust. But when you observe their behaviour i think they’re more trusting of institutions, than the Americans.
I think an interesting example of Britain’s trust in their Government is all the Leave voters thinking the Boris Johnson, Farage types actually had a plan for brexit, beyond corruption. I think thats evident in the amount of leave voters who have switched their own assessments.
Comparing that to the US theres no signs of changes to population divisions or sentiments about the other side or Government. Of course all sides have truths to point to, where resolutions to those truths aren’t delivered, which doesn’t help any healing or moving on prospects.
I’ve found Americans can be super positive people about all kinds, but its almost a social sin to speak well of government services. Of course, i’m speaking in the broadest possible terms here, i can think of a friend in NY who undermines this argument a little.
Doesn’t help the UK have one of the most aggressive medias in the world. They’ll oerblow a straight banana, if they could… oh… wait…
