How is life in the echo chamber John? You are treading the path of the corporate media (people who used to be journalists who are now paid and directed by corporations to be propagandists) that happened in the USA, rather than focusing on the issues that would have addressed the unhappiness. Then again, the banks and businesses don't want these issues addressed so it is unlikely unless there is substantive change in governance. 

People are not happy here. Not happy at all. And the government is tone deaf because they are listening to lobbyists and pollsters while the media listen to their hedge fund masters.

For info, the USA elected Trump and they are 13th in happiness, not far behind us. UK measured before Brexit is 23rd. The biggest difference? The folks in the US perceive a higher level of corruption in their world.
