Elections can be a great barometer of society and we know that, in many ways, Britain is changing. Votes are now split between ‘leave’ and ‘remain’ as well as traditional party views.

Asking somebody in Britain where they plan to go on holiday, the range of responses is usually quite wide. Perhaps Spain for a bit of sun, or the south of France for great food. These days, slightly further afield, you may hear about the lakes of Croatia, the metropolitan nightlife of Tel Aviv or the rich history of Istanbul.
