What country has the best privacy laws to connect to a VPN in?

The Snoopers' Charter passed into law here in the UK, and now ISPs will be compelled to keep internet connection records, which will be made available to a shocking number of agencies.

For some time, I've been meaning to route my traffic via a VPN to a different European country, but with Switzerland voting to weaken its privacy laws, I'm unsure to which country I should route my traffic.

So my question is: which countries make the most sense to have a VPN in from a privacy perspective (also taking into account the available VPN services there - I'm not hosting my own)?
