Sexy Martin “Money Saving Guru” Lewis is running a poll over at moneysavingexpert.com about whether or not we should ditch the royal family. (His is a brilliant site by the way – link in the side bar).
At the moment of writing this, in response to the question, “Which of these is closest to your view of what should happen to the royal family?” people have voted as follows:
| A. Put them back in charge. Ditch all PMs & let them rule. |
|
11% | |
| B. No change. It’s fine as it is. |
|
37% | |
| C. Deconstitutionalise them. Just leave a pure figure head monarchy. |
|
20% | |
| D. Ditch ‘em. End the monarchy forever. |
|
32% |
I am reassured that 52% of people are not happy with things as they are. However, the results of this survey suggest that almost 40% of people are content to let the Royals be. Why????
As for the 11% of people who would like to go back to having an absolute monarchy… well, I can only assume that they are joking. It’d be a very worrying state of affairs if they’re not.
