According to a report by "MSN UK" on August 1, the British anti-monarchy group "Republic" launched a new propaganda campaign calling for the abolition of the monarchy, hoping to replace the queen with a "popularly elected" head of state.
The organization erected 12 billboards in cities such as Aberdeen, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds this week. Each billboard conveyed the same message, “secret, divisive, undemocratic. Abolish the monarchy.
According to a survey conducted by YouGov in May this year, 41% of young people aged between 18 and 24 believed that Britain should have an elected head of state. ,
"Republic" magazine chief executive Graham Smith allegedly believes that "polls show that young people want the elected head of state and the succession of Prince Charles will be a major turning point in the history of the monarchy and the development of the British Republican movement."
On behalf of the anti-monarchy organization, Graham claimed that for decades, the Queen’s long rule has provided support to the royal family. The queen is the monarchy, and the monarchy is the queen. Prince Charles may inherit the throne, but he will not inherit the respect and obedience his mother enjoyed.
However, public opinion polls by YouGov found that the British people in general still support the monarchy. Among those surveyed, 61% of Britons said they support the royal family, and only 24% prefer the elected head of state. Especially among British people between the ages of 50 and 64, 70% support the royal family.
In addition, although the Republican movement also called Prince Charles “controversial, outspoken, and unpopular,” another YouGov survey found that Prince Charles’s popularity increased last year, with 58% of the public treating him Have a positive view.
