Where does public opinion stand on the monarchy ahead of the coronation? | YouGov

The crown is still popular overall, but there are deep generational divides

The monarchy isn't going anywhere any day soon.

Those figures will have been around 80-20 forty years ago. 90-10 in the years directly following the war. It's a trend that's only going one way; it's all generational. And the vast majority of that 60% will be an older generation who believed the monarchy was the only thing gluing the country together. If you think, with the way the world is heading, that there will still be the same appetite for a hereditary monarchy in fifty years time, then you're plainly wrong in my opinion.

Nothing stands in the way of progress.

As I said, 6th form politics. When the rest of the Christians haven't got a religion and become non believers we will still be living in that culture.

But anything anti-western for you isn't it?

It’s 6th form politics, at best.

Anti-monarchy, anti-western. Anti anything as long as it gets a rise. It’s as tiresome as it is predictable.

They act the smart arse, ad nauseam, but when you refer to something like Christian-Judaic culture, they suddenly plead ignorance.

Odd.

Could we compromise and have some kind of X Factor competition to vote our next Monarch in?

I suspect you are right about the 50 tears time remark, but it's not just around the corner and things can of course change.

The monarchy will change IMHO, it will still be here but it will change as it has done over the centuries.

The young ones never went away.

OK they are all old and conservatives now but the new lot are still carrying that flag, until they have to pay taxes and vote and pay stamp duty ;)
 
We are not going to throw away our history as people age it’s important to leave/have roots. Youngsters are busy with life but older people like the glitz surrounding the RF.
I’m not a royalist but my mother and grandmother were, the last 13years of lying and cheating Tory rule make me appreciate the Royals.

Another one who doesn't or wont understand what Christian culture is in the UK and of course Europe.

Strangely the same miscreants who spend their time dismissing claims that international shipping can be attacked and that Israel shouldn't be where it is.

So explain me to what Christian culture is? And then tell me how it isn't inherently linked to the Christian faith (religion)?

And while you're at, politely point out the time I dismissed the gravity of Houthis firing at shipping routes?

Google it, it's all out there.

I believe you to be wilfully ignorant in this case, to remedy that try to do at little research.

So irrelevant that you keep talking about them unprompted and using derogatory language. You seem the most interested in the tiny irrelevant little non-pressure group.

It’s a thread about the monarchy, in case you hadn’t noticed, and I think that the silly little ‘pressure group’ as you put it, neatly encapsulates the glib anti-monarchist patter people like yourself are so fond of. That’s why an often refer to them, more as an object of ridicule than anger, to be frank.
