Not the UK: In which probably 50% of the population feel the government doesn't represent them.
Not France I'd guess? Which seems to have issues and strong probability of a Frexit?
Not Italy, whose politics as seemed somwwhat messy for some time?
Those are the countries in Europe that are "doing well" in terms of GDP at least. Aside from Germany that is.
So is Germany the role model? I'm really trying to ask an honest question. I'm wondering which are the countries currently doing well economically and treating their citizens well.

When you have a situation like that, it seems like it's time to break up the country into smaller units so that you don't have a half-and-half divide, because then you'll never get to a stable state where a large enough majority of the population accepts the government (because they're constantly fighting the other half in a tug-of-war and the majority keeps flipping back and forth). According to the Brexit results, Scotland strongly favored "remain", and so did Northern Ireland. London did too. So obviously, Scotland should simply secede from the UK, and it can rejoin the EU as a separate nation. It's certainly large enough to be an independent nation on its own. Northern Ireland can too, or better yet it can rejoin regular Ireland which is already an EU member. I do wonder, however, what would happen if they did another Brexit vote just to see if many people have changed their minds.
