Is UK a socialist country

Answer 1

Britain is supposedly a social democracy. Regarding the welfare state, equal opportunities, etc, it can be argued that there are many elements of Socialism in Britain. Many core socialist values are economic and Britain is economically capitalist. Most British people are centre-left. To compare this with the US: the British right wing is the US left wing. British people overwhelmingly support free national healthcare, equal opportunities, a hugely funded state education system, open government yet also tend to support the economic free market. Britain is not socialist, but it is a social democracy.

Answer 2

Britain is a Monarchy and a constitutional democracy. Britain like the rest of Europe has embraced many socialist policy's that improve the life and security of is citizens. However these policy's need to be approved of by the general population who both pay for these policy's and ultimately decide what these policy's are to be in regularly held elections for a government.
