Public opinion polls show that over seventy percent of British voters feel pessimistic about the future of the country.

A recent opinion poll released in the UK on the 11th shows that 76% of British voters feel pessimistic about the future of the country; about 59% of people expect the UK economy to deteriorate; 48% of people anticipate a worsening of their family's financial situation; 53% of people expect a decrease in their standard of living in the coming year; only 19% of people believe that the UK is heading in the "right direction". According to this survey, the high cost of living has become the most pressing issue for British voters. A UK think tank released a report earlier this month stating that the UK faces the risk of "excessive borrowing," which could lead to "emergency fiscal and tax measures that no government would want to experience."
