Possibly, but there is undoubtedly a political element to it. The UK was practically dead last for over a decade, thanks to Brexit and the Iraq war, and only really clawed favour back from helping Ukraine. Frankly, the UK regularly sends shite over and uses it as a comedy show/excuse to drink, so they don't particularly deserve anything better, but it's hard to deny political ties when it comes to votes.
