    "Never" is not very long it appears.

    Minus one point for lack of resolve.

    Is this a show or something? Let the debate flow please if you are really eager about the topic.

    The question is quite simple. It asks how a person feels about their nation's prospects in the future. The direction is either positive or negative. There are no specifics required other than choosing a polity and knowing how one feels about it moving into the future.
    In which case you are asking about specific policies .
    Since it appears that each and every country has many diverse policies often moving in seemingly opposite directions .
    Then gah can be the only answer .
    But gah is a response to the question .
    And the question as stated is.........
    the abode of those without the acumen to think through an issue

    Hmm...perhaps it did not occur to you, but I was speaking of your polls...

    Minus 1 (no 2) points for arrogance...

    Ahh...isn't everything...

    It is easier to say that than to actually refute something...

    I decided to give the poll a chance, until I noticed this:

    Netherlands: I'm positive about the prospects of the nation and its direction.

    Did our government offer you extravagant sums of cash for this poll, Pindar?

    Oops! If you want to post an opinion just consider the top one positive and the bottom negative. It doesn't seem I can correct the poll choices. Of course! Given the wherewithal of the Dutch so that even the sea is forced to retreat before their resolve one option is probably all that is needed.

    It sure would be fun if you could change the poll options after a whole bunch of people have already voted
