The ruling British class, sure. The average British citizen is impacted by this, rather than enacting the change though.

It's kind of like how a select few people in the states decide healthcare shouldn't be affordable, and everyone else just has to accept it; despite living in one of the richest countries in the history of the human race.

The reality is both nations have the same group of people pulling the strings behind the scenes; anyone who believes they have any say in either country is either not paying attention, or an idiot.
