TV puts republican Britain to the test
Article Abstract:
The television programme entitled 'Monarchy: The Nation Decides,' which is to be shown on ITV shortly, will be significant in revealing the extent to which republicanism has gained a foothold in the UK. It is expected that up to 2 million viewers will take part in a telephone poll connected with the programme, giving the most representative view ever obtained of ordinary people's opinions on the monarchy. A poll undertaken already in connection with the programme indicates that 48% of Britons feel that the monarchy will not survive beyond 2050.

Brought up under Tory rule, the Big Mac generation takes a taste of polling power
Article Abstract:
Many young people in the UK who will be eligible to vote for the first time at the next general election are extremely cynical about all political parties. They feel alienated by the constant conflict between politicians, and feel that politicians should instead work together to bring about effective results. Many are not really sure of the beliefs of individual parties, and some have little interest in voting at all.
