You're right, no problems in the UK will be solved by anything that
happens in the Netherlands, which is the most densely-populated
significant country in Europe.


England is more densely populated than the Netherlands. The UK is less
so.


Irrelevant: you either need to compare at the levels of regions-that-
are-historical-countries *or* at the levels of nation-states. Comparing
England to the Netherlands is a category error. And of course, Holland
is more densely populated than England.
