Election chaos speeds Brits to sunbelt

It wasn’t exactly a comprehensive survey, but the one on emigration commissioned by Currency UK was timely, as Britain slumped to an all-time low in the corruption league table with the cobbled plans for a Government of the Election Losers to run the country…

That latest attack on UK democracy came just after the survey, so the next one might show even greater interest in Over-50s quitting the UK for that sunbelt lifestyle.

The survey showed that:

1. Many Brits are concerned by the prospect of a hung Parliament and that the next four years will be dominated by huge tax rises, cuts in public service and inflation.
2. People are concerned about the UK's economic strength and this is leading to Brits looking to get out.
3. Three in four Britons have considered moving abroad this year.
4. Three in ten said the poor state of the economy was their reason for wanting to emigrate, a survey found.
5. A quarter of those polled blamed the lack of job prospects while an eighth said a change in the pace of life was the main attraction.

Whatever the outcome of the Lib-Lab and Lib-Con machinations, the country's politicians have clearly lost their moral compass and that will cause thousands more citizens to head South to Spain or Australia, the most popular emigration destinations.

That a pair of disgraced unelected spin doctors are being blamed for the post-election stitch-up fiasco will speed up the departure dates for many.

Not that politics is much better in either Spain or Australia, as both are run by spend-spend left-wing Labour governments… but the sun shines for 300 days of the year, the cost of living is lower and newly-arrived Brits will be so busy retiring, they won’t have time to get involved in the grubby stuff.
