The rise of politicians talking about ‘happiness’ and ‘general well-being’ is a new European fad with similar initiatives also undertaken by Nicolas Sarkozy in France and Angela Merkel in Germany.

In England bilden mitten in der Krise zwei junge, enthusiastische Politiker eine Regierung der Zuversicht.
