Are there any surviving social-democratic paradises with a liberal vibe left on Gods green earth and ones that might actually consider letting you live there? Its surely a popular line of thought in many peoples minds today.
Traditionally, those seeking refuge from the UK would look to the Nordics. Indeed, the Swedes and their compatriots could make some claim to having made the welfare state and social security an everyday reality. Historically, they were also more equal societies with a Gini coefficient (how economists measure disparities in income, at globally modest levels).
Nowadays, there are two things wrong with that picture. First, various far-right and nativist groups have sprouted up, and made the most of their proportional representation systems. Theyre not a reassuring presence. Besides, now that the UK is outside the EU and will probably be outside the European Economic Area, all these states are probably ruled out for easy freedom of movement for the British.
