World's Happiest Countries

@BlueGreenGrey No. The country was divided when the previous Prime Minister imposed a Covid mandate a week after she said publicly that she wouldn't. As a result, large numbers of people lost their jobs. The country became camps of the vaxxed, who thought the PM walked on water, and the unvaxxed, who doubted her claims that an untested vaccine would protect them and prevent transmission of the virus. The scars of that divide remain today, with a lot of resentment towards authority. The previous government was also soft on crime, with the result that figures for theft, burglary, assault and retail crime have soared. The country has experienced soaring inflation due to the previous government's failed fiscal efforts to get the country through the extended periods of lockdown. As a result, housing and rent costs have soared, and many more people are dependent on food banks. Overworked doctors and nurses have left in droves for other countries, particularly Australia, where they can earn much more in less stressed conditions, and where the cost of living is lower. Consequently the health sector is in crisis.
