Yes, your influence on the UK democracy is at least 2.17391304 × 10 * * (-6) percent (1 out of the 46 million voters) whereas your influence on the American government is 0 percent.
It's not so much a matter of the influence I have as a matter of the government's goal.
Protecting me is somehow one of the missions of my government. Even if they tend to be quite bad at it, that still has to be on their minds.
The American government (or any foreign one), on the other hand, can and will screw me over, if they need it. And they will brag about it to gain poll points. Protecting me isn't part of their mission. Why would it be ? To them, I am the enemy.
