For the first time, we’ve started to think seriously about leaving the UK. We almost certainly will if the right takes power in 2029. Living in a country that’s declared itself racist and opposed to liberal democracy is not a great option when you’re lucky enough to have others.
The elephant in the room of course is that those other options are shrinking, fast. Even the Spanish exception might not last long if current opinion polling is to be trusted. I struggle to imagine what Europe will look like in just 5 years' time
There will always be places to go. But you’re right, options may be limited.
I for one voted with my feet after the 2016 referendum and moved from London to Sweden. My quality of life has definitely improved but I can't pretend that Swedish policies and attitudes haven't gone downhill since I moved here
Nowhere is perfect. But there’s something about where you’re from embracing xenophobia, racism and authoritarianism that is particularly gruesome.
