The difference is, in the US or the UK, if you feel that you have a better idea than the government you can run for office and try to change things.
Do you really believe that ? I mean really, give it a try. Without money, without support from "big business", nobody will ever hear about you. And even if people hear about you, you won't be one of their favorites, mostly because they don't know you. Running for office involves much more than just the will to do it.
And the kind of people that have the will, the money and the support are in the game for power, for their own benefit, not for ours.
I'm afraid you are not paying attention: you feel that you have a better idea - which is quite plausible. You also can try to change things which is also very correct. I think you can also do that in China, Egypt, and any place with sufficient oxygen.
