UK - A poll has revealed how Britons feel about the systems they live under, with a sobering report revealing the majority feel that society is broken, the economy is rigged in favour of serving the rich and powerful, and traditional parties do not care about people like them. Ipsos MORI published on Friday findings from surveying more than 18,000 people in 27 countries worldwide on their sense of the democratic and social health of their nations, which revealed that dissatisfaction with the system and traditional politics was prevalent across the world and growing in Great Britain.
As well as the rising sense of loneliness and purposelessness, the British Social Attitudes survey revealed in July 2019 that profession of a Christian faith is at an all-time low in the country. In terms of the family, government statistics showed that birthrates in England and Wales had fallen to a record low, even lower than during World War Two, while figures released on Thursday detailed that the proportion of adults taking the ultimate commitment with their partners is dropping, with marriages now at just over half (50.5 per cent), while the proportion of single people continues to rise.
