UK seems like one of the absolute worst places in the world to live. Why are there not more people moving out of the UK? Do they still think it can get better?

- tim333 2y agoIt's a bit like that quote about democracy - it's the worst place apart from all the other ones. Not where really is perfect. The population keeps going up here with people immigrating for what it's worth although we've had quite a lot of millionaires leaving and African asylum seekers arriving on dinghies which is perhaps not ideal.

Anywhere in the Anglosphere or other parts of Europe is better. Most of Asia is better. Most of South America is better. Even some African countries are probably better. I would definitely move to Uganda, Botswana or South Africa before I ever set foot in the UK. > The population keeps going up here If you promise anyone who arrives at your shore free healthcare, accommodation, food and some spending money, then of course your population will go up. Not sure how that makes anything better.
- tim333 2y agoI guess worse is in the eye of the beholder but on the "List of countries by Human Development Index" we're #15, ahead of the US (#20). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Dev... Dunno. Are you a Brit? Think of moving anywhere?
- badpun 2y agoI’d say uk is probably in top10-top20 places in the world to live.
