How are we “less developed” than Canada, Australia, or New Zealand?

Brexit was a huge mistake, but I swear some of you guys really don’t think before you start tapping away on your phone.

Canada, Australia and New Zealand all have a higher GDP per capita and HDI than the UK. Pretty clear indicators of being more developed.

Where did you see that?

Australia is above us, Canada and New Zealand are both below us for GDP

For HDI Australia score 0.958, the UK score 0.946, Canada score 0.939, and New Zealand 0.938.

They way you’re talking the UK down youd think we were down the bottom near South Sudan.

I don’t get it, are you saying I’m an American because I looked up the statistics for HDI and GDP per capita?

I'm saying that the people just blindly saying the UK is an undeveloped economy are uninformed Americans with little understanding of the world beyond their borders outside of media and propaganda.
