One in Three Britons Would Like to Leave the UK

[GamezRule]

I want to leave the US and go to Germany or some Central European country like Poland!

That's Eastern Europe!

Got to educate the newbies...

 

[tycoonist]

Can't say that I would mind living in the Netherlands....

You know they're strongly considering banning pot, right?

Apparently it attracts a bad element.

 

[Virote_Considon]

I wouldn't mind living in many European countries.

But permanently, I want to live in the UK.

What the crap is so special about Denmark and the Czech Republic?

The people there are generally happier than the people in other countries, I would think.

 

[stormerne]

Brits, would you like to leave the United Kingdom?

Britons are most likely to want to relocate to Australia, Spain, the United States, and Canada.

Where would you like to end up at?

Done it already. So where to next? Somewhere with universal healthcare and an independent judiciary.

 

[Vordeo]

What the crap is so special about Denmark and the Czech Republic?

The beer?

 

[SG-17]

The ironic thing is that some would want to go to Spain.

 

[Eat_Up_Martha]

The ironic thing is that some would want to go to Spain.

Where's the irony in that?

 

[Karalysia]

This discontent with the country is probably partially linked to economic and political factors. Spain has 20% unemployment.

Grass greener on the other side of the channel...Britons have possible access to great places all around, so no wonder they want to leave.

 

[bathsheba666]

Rounding.

Hah!
If we're doing rounding, then 33% rounds to zero,
therefore nobody wants to leave the UK.

 

[Oerdin]

More like, what is the problem with them, that they rightfully don't recognize USA's greatness and want to do all they can to be a part of it.

I'm willing to bet most British don't want to move to the US and instead Australia is their top choice with Canada being second.

 

[Harvin87]

If I was going to live anywhere else apart from the UK, I'd pick somewhere like Sweden. Nice climate, socially liberal, health & welfare and of course ABBA.

the weather? just take a look at todays weather forecast...

Brits, would you like to leave the United Kingdom?



Where would you like to end up at?

lol, didn't you know that neighbor's grass is always greener? You really needed a poll to find it out?

What the crap is so special about Denmark and the Czech Republic?

Czech Republic: Some of the best beer in the world, low prices, and beautiful girls
Denmark: is the happiest country on the planet (in my experience: almost no crime, easy life, good beer, beautiful girls).


Anyway if one follows the articles, its possible to see some clear facts.

Not surprising, most of people in subsaharian africa want to move out of their countries





Again, no surprise, the most desired destinations are the rich countries of the west (USA, Canada, Australia, Western and north Europe) plus Saudi Arabia.

Roughly 210 million adults around the world would like to move to a country in the European Union, which is similar to the estimated number who would like to move to Northern America. However, about half of the estimated 80 million adults who live in the EU and would like to move permanently to another country would like to move to another country within the EU -- the highest desired intra-regional migration rate in the world.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt are interesting cases in the Middle East. What does it say about Israel? Can't tell from the map.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Yeah, we all know that UK is a hellhole in which the tyrannical old Queen constantly sends BNP thugs to beat up on student protesters.

 

[ParkCungHee]

You know, given this, I'm surprised seperatism isn't doing better.
