Australia remains popular with those moving abroad

Australia continues to top the poll of places Brits would like to move to if they upped sticks and moved abroad. A survey by visa application website GlobalVisas.com indicates that close to half of all Brits would like to emigrate, and the main reason given for this was the weather.
Although Australia came top of the poll of countries to escape to, New Zealand and the US were close behind.
Although 48 per cent of those polled said they would like to emigrate, 44 percent said they would prefer to remain at home with eight per cent saying they were not sure what would be preferable.
Other popular destinations with those wishing to move away from the UK included Spain, Turkey, Brazil and Canada.
Other than the weather, popular reasons for leaving Britain for another country included a better job, a more laid-back lifestyle, friendlier neighbours and a lower cost of living. GlobalVisas.com spokesman, Gary Smith, said he wasn’t surprised by the fact that better weather had topped the reason for people wanting to get out of Britain because of the bad winter in the UK. He added that Australia was always a popular choice because of its friendly people, laid-back lifestyle and sunshine.
