Half of Brits don’t know how succession works, poll finds.
Presumably the other half, like me, couldn’t give a shit lol
Interesting, so half of Brits apparently think the public should … err … choose the head of state? How can someone possibly be so thick that they’d both support the monarchy and think they should get to choose who the monarch is?
People beginning to realise they don’t, in fact, support having a hereditary monarchy?
I support him stepping aside for an election for a new head of state
Let him have a shot – he’s waited long enough for it.
We should abolish it though – hopefully William will be the last monarch.
I say fuck it if we’re going to have monarchy, Charlie should rule with an iron fist and quash this revolt asap
Poll selected for printing from numerous similar unpublished polls finds what person paying for poll wanted to find.
Poll finds.
if charles gets in hopefully support for the monarchy tanks enough that we can get rid of them
Kind of wild that people have this opinion while, presumably, still supporting the stupid notion of a hereditary monarchy.
If we are picking and choosing, hell, just bypass Wills too and install Rylan Clarke as our next King.
It could happen. It won’t, but it could.
The royal family love tradition and are not going to distance themselves from it because people do not like Charles as much as they like William. The monarchy are not beholden to us and the public need to remember that, our opinions mean shit to them.
I hope this other arbitrary ‘half’ is more interested in dissolving the monarchy in its entirety instead, because let’s be honest.
The whole monarchy needs to get fucked we’re past such times and the money can be spent where it’s needed not protecting nonce’s. There will still be income from tourists visiting the “royal” buildings ect and what other crap associated with them.
I would prefer to think that the other half want fuck all to do with monarchy in any way shape or form ..
I’m pretty sure since I was born 30 years ago people have been saying that Charles should abdicate to William… This isn’t new.
Anyone who thinks Ipsos polls could be used in any capacity to show any thing remotely related to how people in Britain think is deluded. They clearly state on their website that they gather data to tell a story. The narrative is up to you I guess.
Ridiculous. Fucking pick and mix idiots. You have the monarchy or you don’t.
Dont care who is next but can we just have an effective King, one that will dissolves parliament when there is obvious crime or corruption going on.
Do the other half say just abolish the whole fucking monarchy?
This is absurd. Charles will want to protect William from the burden of the throne. People assume being king is good. I think we can all see it’s a poison chalice.
As a US expat living in England, I honestly don’t understand why people think William would be so much better than Charles. The recent Jamaica debacle shows that things haven’t changed *that* much between the generations. The younger royals are still pretty out of touch and tone-deaf. The whole monarchy just seems quaint and outdated to me.
Also, as frail as the Queen seems, her mum sure hung on a good long time, and it doesn’t look likely to me that she’ll give up anytime soon. The men in that family don’t last as long. (Then again, I suspect the Queen Mother didn’t love George VI nearly as much as the current queen loved Philip. They always struck me as truly devoted. It’s hard on a person, losing a beloved spouse in old age like that.)
Are people not realising that they’re missing out on bank holidays for Charles’ coronation and then funeral by skipping him? Need to have a word with themselves!
This is stupid. If we get a day off work or 3 because of Kings and Queen’s dying and a coronation following, it stands to reason that we don’t want to skip Charles. That’s 3 days off work you won’t get sometime between now and 2040 or so.
Who is actually King or not makes no difference. It’s an entirely symbolic role and mostly concerns whose face appears on cash and stamps – 2 things that have more or less been entirely eliminated from British society anyway (unless you’re homeless or a drug dealer)
