British government 'driving people abroad'
The British government has been criticised by people who are thinking of leaving the country and living abroad.
Robinsons International stated that a record number of people are now considering moving abroad in order to improve their quality of life.
A study by the removals firm revealed that the government is one of the main causes of this trend.
Some 15 per cent of respondents blamed it for "driving them away" from the UK, while others said they were unhappy with issues such as the rising cost of living.
The government also fared poorly in a poll of which personalities British people would miss the least if they moved abroad.
Prime minister Gordon Brown was identified as the person UK nationals would be most pleased to live without, while previous incumbent Tony Blair made it to second place.
Anthony Robinson, managing director of Robinsons International, remarked: "It’s always interesting to see how trends change over the years."
According to the Office for National Statistics, 207,000 UK nationals moved abroad during 2006 - a record figure under current measuring systems.
