A world divided: “1975 felt better” vs “2025 is an improvement.”
Drawn from the Ipsos 'Is Life Getting Better?' Global Advisor 30-country study, the split runs through how we feel, how we live and what we value.

New from me for @labourlist.bsky.social on how @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social polling shows Labour need to speak more for those that want radical change to win again.
50% of Brits want radical change but just 4% of this group trust Labour to deliver it

'Labour won being cautious - but Brits are impatient for radical change' - LabourList
Labour's manifesto promised change. But Brits aren't seeing it and are losing faith that Labour can deliver says Ipsos UK's Keiran Pedley.

NEW: A sense of nostalgia pervades our latest 30-country report. By nearly 2 to 1, people would prefer to have been born in 1975 rather than 2025 if they had the choice. Only France, Belgium and Mexico are ahead of us in the “life was better in the old days” stakes www.ipsos.com/en/is-life-g...
