We have a higher chance of being murdered because we have deadlier weapons and more social strife. Your violent crime is just as high, but because of less deadly weapons, fewer people die. You also have a government that watches you in public places, and is in no way constrained in their actions. If your government ever becomes tyrannical, you have no means of defending yourself. Lest you forget, we were once subject to Royal authority, but we used our privately-owned weapons (along with the help of our French bretheren) to demonstrate exactly what happens when an idea and an armed populace are joined.
if labour and the lib-dems formed a coalition,they can form a government,which means they can pass laws,after all that is part of the political landscape here,we also have scottish nationlist and welsh nationlist MPs,and the unionist MPs from Northern ireland,sinn fein and the SDLP are also from northern ireland.
You say our violent crime is just as high,look at the murder figures,and gun related injuries,as for being watched in public places(cctv) it helps with street crime,i dont have a problem with it,if it helps catch crimanals.
"if our government ever becomes tyrannical,you have no means of defending ourself" i really think you are getting a bit carried away with yourself here.
