Having studied a bit of politics and having looked at the American system, I would say that America's phoney democracy is worse than Britain's apart from the fact that you have free speech (ish).
Really, if you are going to have democracy at all, it should be something like direct democracy, citizen-initiated referenda, similar to the Swiss model.
Switzerland is not part of the EU, only recently joined the UN, has a huge standing army, all men undertake national service, most are gun-owners.
Americans are going to have to use local economics to take their country back, it may take an economic crisis to trigger this, but you can start the process now.
