The doom and gloom is rather overdone. In the United Nations index of World Happiness, in which data is used to implement policies, Britain comes 19th out of 157 countries, beating the likes of Italy, France, China, Japan, Spain.
There was a 4 point rise from 2016 to 2017.

Another recent survey by the Office for National Statistics found that our levels of happiness, well being and life satisfaction are higher than ever before.
The truth is we live longer, safer and more comfortable lives than any previous generation.
Of course we have our problems, and still will have no matter which gov. is in power, as the past has demonstrated time and time again.

When you look at the desperate poverty, deprivation and lack of freedom that many countries suffer, we are damn lucky. You'd think that our weakest, poorest, sickest, were all left to deliberately starve and die. Our NHS is pretty darn good despite it's problems and the nations health and economic status is improving...despite the fact that we still haven't recovered from the recession. Count your blessings and hope that the upward trends continue.
