Re: Which type of country would you prefer to live in?To me politics is a means to an end. I only crave political change when I believe that change would lead to a benefit to me or the the country or the world.
Providing a nation offered a quality of life sufficently high that I didn't think political activism would help, then yeah, sure, I'd go for that.
That said, I consider freedom from religion, freedom to marry gays and so on to be part of my quality of life measure. As such Saudi Arabia or UAE wouldn't make the cut. -

Re: Which type of country would you prefer to live in?I agree with the political freedom (the lack there of). I think the standard of living is typical of a first world country.(Original post by Azaro)
THE uk has THE worst of both, very low political freedom and very low standard of living.
