If we could just fix the lack of decent housing, a fucked NHS, shitty public transport, shitty roads, a near non-existent police force, over population, social mobility and the general lack of respect for each other it would be a good start
Good luck. I have lived in five different countries and none have been perfect. Interestingly, I wonder if Japan copes better because it doesn't have such a huge continual.population growth to place strain on Infrastructure and services? Nah, can't be.
I judge countries by whether you can have a decent life there if you're relatively poor - you can live anywhere if you're prosperous.
UK is 23 and Japan is 53 so maybe it's a lot more fun to visit than live there.
Denmark Iceland Switzerland Norway come top.

Sounds very much like Oxfordshire to me...
The great thing about our small country though is that you're never more than an hour from somewhere lovely.
I'd hate to live in Dublin
all the problems of London x 2 for house prices plus congestion, but only 25% of the nightlife of Manchester
Stockholm seemed very boring when I visited. You must be very wealthy to be able to up sticks to Dublin or Stockholm
Once you get out of the frankly awful (congestion and costs) London bubble, quality of life improves drastically in the UK
Provided you can find decent work Suffolk is a lovely place to be.
Also Australia. You can buy a massive a massive acreage out side Melbourne in places like Kinglake for £300,000. Only 45mins by train into the city centre.
Too many people on the take and not putting anything back in the pot!
Have a great weekend I am going shopping!
But, on the other hand .....
Making any decision now, on the basis of the referendum result alone, will be a decision taken on very incomplete information.
We have no idea what form Brexit will take, and won't know for a few years yet. It's a complete unknown.
We have no idea what the EU will look like by the time our own process has run its course. Italian referendum this weekend, French election next year, impact of Trump on the world balance, unresolved economic tensions within the EU, Turkey's response to being blocked, etc, etc, etc. It's all unknown.
If you're leaving "the UK" due to broken public services, they're broken because the population voted not to pay for them (NHS, Police, etc) or because their supply model is fundamentally untenable (NHS) at almost any price, or because of the ridiculously distorted nature of our economy and the remnants of an adversarial management/labour relationship (public transport in the SE).
But essentially because too many people want to use those services. Too. Many. People.
If you're leaving "the UK" because of litter & beer bellies ... Well, I can't argue with that.
I'm leaving because I don't like the kids 3-doors down.
I'm out.
