Because moving to Britain for a better class of politician is... well. I'll refrain from commenting on anybody else's political leaders, but our three options right now are:

-David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, very fond of shutting down and selling off anything nice he sees.
-Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, theoretically the centre-left party, but currently in a coalition with the Conservatives and parroting their every word. Thanks, Nick! Never voting for you again.
-Ed... hang on, I have to check. Right. Ed Milliband, leader of the Labour Party, which used to be pretty darn radical socialists, but in the runup to the next election, seems to have gone for 'people voted for the Conservatives last time, so let's imitate all their policies!'. I'm'm not pleased (but will have to vote for them anyway on a 'least of the near-identical evils' policy).

Oh, but there's also:

-Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, who want to kick out everyone who's not white, cut off ties with Europe, and as far as I can tell, build a wall around England and euthanise all the poor people. UKIP scare the life out of me, and the fact that they're doing so well even more so.

I just want a government that thinks taking care of the entire population is the most important thing on its list, and isn't afraid to extend that to the global population, too. Is that too much to ask? Apparently.
