I think it is a psychological problem, there are more liberals but you don't hear about them. People don't like what is happening, they can't figure out how to fix it, and the conservatives have been very vocal about the problem without coming up with any solution that doesn't involve hurting people who aren't them.

( I wonder if Australia and New Zealand are more similar to Europe or North America? )

Australia is a warm version of Canada. New Zealand is Australia (Victoria/Tasmania region) with 10% of the population (or similar to the Rocky Mountain region of Canada). Vancouver is probably a lot like Auckland or Wellington. Barcelona is similar to Sydney. The USA has too many problems compared with those countries. Europe has a few problems, but they seem to be able to do something about them. Mexico has the least government regulations and you are the 'free-est' there (nobody even looked at me crossing the border into Mexico, you can drive any vehicle with wheels on the road, but the government doesn't always protect your safety.)
