I wonder what British politics would look like if we had the land mass of the US with highly populated and "wealthy" coastal areas and an hinterland that is more agricultural, sparsely populated and much "wilder" than anything in the UK. (Given other factors remain similar - monarchy, historic development etc.)
What I never get in US politics is the cost of running. Imagine if they reduced the cost to a smallish deposit, limited spending on TV advertising and so on and also limited campaigning and collecting funds to a brief election period.
