I have found (and quite strongly even on this site, but not all by any means), that it's a very 'I'm alright Jack, sod the rest of you' kind of attitude that a lot of people have now, twisted by the media etc. I believe those in power will continue with that line of thinking and things will just get worse as in divide and conquer situation.
I also find it pointless in a way to discuss these type of issues sometimes* as the powers that be will decide on whatever regardless and again there will be no logic and there will be less democracy, it's just what will be in it for themselves is that counts.
*(But not pointless to discuss amongst ourselves obviously).
I'm not good at these kind of questions because I've struggled to see the point, so I've kept it short.
