Majority of Britons feel their country is getting worse to live in – Study

More than 75% of respondents claim that longer wait times for the NHS, higher taxes, and inflation make Britain a worse place to live.

According to an Ipsos poll done for the Evening Standard, the cost of living crisis has significantly lowered voter support for the Conservatives.

Nearly 90% of those polled expressed discontent with the government, and nearly 50% of respondents said they planned to support Labour in the upcoming general election.

The lowest rate of dissatisfaction for Rishi Sunak as prime minister yet was just over 60%.

Management of the economy, taxation, and public spending were three areas of concern for people who gave the Conservative government a low rating.

It was also discussed how to improve the delivery of services by the NHS, the education system, policing, and immigration management while addressing the cost of living crisis.

Actually, the only area in which Sunak’s administration received high marks was for its handling of the war in Ukraine.

Just 10% felt a government led by Sir Keir Starmer would perform well, whereas almost 60% think the Tories are managing support for Ukraine and taking a stand against the Putin administration successfully.

Ipsos UK’s Gideon Skinner stated that although Labour has a distinct advantage when it comes to the cost of living and public services like the NHS, there are still some concerns, notably about general perceptions of economic ability.

He continued by saying that dissatisfaction with the performance of the Conservatives “is outweighing reservations about the prospects of change at the next election.”
