Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland are the happiest countries in the world, according to a league table.

People from the five nations placed themselves at 7.5 out of 10 on a life satisfaction scale for 2017, the most recent set of figures available.

In comparison, the UK scored just 6.7 - despite being slightly more satisfied than the year before, while the US fared slightly better with 6.9.

The figures were revealed in a report by the Office for National Statistics. It delved into the well-being of the UK and how it has improved slightly.

Experts have in the past suggested people in northern European countries are happier because they earn a lot of money, live long lives and have good government support services.

They may be almost all white but they're almost 100% socialist and love vacation days.

They aren't socialist. They are all big government nanny states but with market economies

They don't look at the word "socialism" like it's some inherent evil.

So you are saying that having minorities around actually makes people less happy.
This board blames everything on culcha.
