“…One less predictable result is that the effect of general health runs in the opposite direction to that of depression. This tends to undermine one alternative explanation for our depression effect: that sufferers were oriented towards Remain because they were particularly sensitive to the risks that leaving the EU posed to the UK healthcare system (Esmaeilzadeh & Mirzaei 2018). If anything, those most in need of that system were more likely to support Leave.…”

Depression is the most common mental illness and its profound impact on cognition and decisionmaking has implications for political judgement. However, those implications are unclear in the case of referendums offering a choice between status quo and change. On one hand, one component of depression is the kind of life dissatisfaction associated with voting for change. Yet cognitive models also portray depression sufferers as biased towards the status quo: they are less inclined to research change, more pessimistic about its benefits and more likely to exaggerate its potential costs. In this paper, we use data from Understanding Society to examine the impact of those cross-pressures on support for Brexit. Prior to the referendum, while life dissatisfaction and generally poor health predicted support for Leaving the European Union (EU), those diagnosed with depression were disproportionately likely to support Remain. Supporting our claim that the latter was a sign of status quo bias, this difference disappeared once the result was in and leaving the EU had become the widespread expectation. The study highlights the unexplored importance of mental health for political judgements, emphasises the multidimensionality of conditions like depression and illustrates the psychological role of status quo bias in referendum voting.

his research paper is devoted to the analysis of the effect of Brexit on Slovak healthcare workers in the UK. The main objective of the research is to estimate the impact of the fallouts and the extent to which Brexit has had on Slovak healthcare professionals living and working in the UK. It is supposed in the paper that the impact of the changes affected Slovak healthcare workers so much that they are considering leaving the UK and coming back to Slovakia. The estimation is based on the questionnaire survey conducted within the framework of the APVV project output, from which questions related to migration were analyzed. The main method used for the statistic estimation is the Pearson Chi-square test, along with hypothesis verification, which is the way the survey results are interpreted and analyzed. The results have shown that Brexit has significantly impacted Slovak healthcare workers, as many of them are considering returning to Slovakia. Deteriorating working and living conditions are forcing them to consider the question of their future to stay in the UK. Brexit indirectly contributes to the increased discomfort of Slovak healthcare professionals, both in work and in everyday life, especially in terms of the increased cost of living, the feeling of increased discrimination, stagnating working conditions, and imaginary distancing from their relatives, friends, and acquaintances living in Slovakia in particular because of new regulations implemented when travelling between countries.
