Most voters believe we are living in broken Britain, according to a poll.
Nearly three fifths say they hardly recognise the country they are living in and are deeply pessimistic about the state of Britain today.
The survey shows that 70 per cent believe that society is now broken and 68 per cent believe people who play by the rules get a raw deal.
Many say they are worried by the pace of social change and 42 per cent admit they would like to emigrate, the Populus poll for the Times found.
Women, working-class people and Tory voters were more likely to say that they hardly recognise their own country.
Overall, 64 per cent think that Britain is going in the wrong direction and just 31 per cent believe it is on the right track.
This is a widely used measure of mood in the U.S., where 57 per cent of people think America is going wrong and 37 per cent believe it is on the right track.

Well, with what they’ve allowed to happen in their own country, I’m not in favor of them emigrating here.
I have a guy who works for me in the UK. His dream retirement is to relocate to the US and drive the train at Disney World.
Hey Britain, how’s that socialist Labour party working out for you?
Fight Nazis, then let then in the back door! Great!
Careful there. The limeys are mostly socialists. If they allowed their own country to go down that slope, why would we want them here? This is like allowing Californians to move to Oregon, and you’ve seen what happened. It’s now a lib, high-tax state.
Have looked around at this country recently? The Brits that want out are the ones that think like us. Hang together or hang separately.
Just what I said, wasn’t it?
If three fifths of the British population is fed up then why don’t they rise up, throw every politician and worthless government employee out on their ears, declare all the stupid laws null and void, and take back their country.
Kick every last Muslim out while they are at it.
Good point. It's almost like fighting the communists and letting in Obama.
“we’re racing to become England II.”
If we don’t stop the ‘Rats from destroying the economy we’ll be New Ethiopia!/s
Good, you can give them your job if you want them so bad.
They are living in a combo of Nigeria/Afghanistan/Albania/India/Pakistan now aka a toilet - thanks to open borders.
We are not far behind. Where are all them Godly types here on FR who want more illegals and Haitian babies.
Maybe I'll just hire one. Or are you saying any American is better than any foreigner? How about the 53 percent that voted for 0 vs. the foreigner that's fleeing socialism and not looking for a handout?
To those who want to emigrate: Stay. Fight. Take back your country.
I was thinking Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore or Gary (IN).
My ancestors were 390 years ahead of the game, I guess. Nice to see the rest of those blokes have come around to see the light.
But when it comes to vote time, they rush out to punch their ballots for the likes of Gregorie, Nickels, Cantwell, McDermott, and Murray. The exact same type of politicians that wrecked California.
That's my dream too!
IF they don’t like what they have allowed to happen, then it is up to them to change it.
