Over half of Gen Z believe Britain should be ruled by a dictator
| The findings from polling company Craft, based on a sample of 3,000 adults of all ages, also revealed a “growing gender divide” amongst youngsters.
Some 45% of young men said “we have gone so far in promoting women’s equality that we are discriminating against men”, while a similar proportion agreed “when it comes to giving women equal rights, things have gone far enough”.
| Responding to questions about media, 58% of Gen Z said they trusted social media posts from friends as much as established journalism while influencers including Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson had a similar trust of 42% of young men.
| Alex Mahon, chief executive of Channel 4, said the data showed that Gen Z were simultaneously the country’s most authoritarian and liberal generation.
“They are media savvy, switched on and smart, but have been exposed to the full force of the polarising, confusing and sometimes wilfully misleading nature of social media since they were born,” she said.
| She added that young people faced “growing uncertainty” on who to trust and were equally confident in traditional and alternative media sources.
She said: “Gen Z curate their own understanding of ‘the truth’. For many, this is exacerbating societal tensions and undermining the value of democracy.”

| I can't say how valid the study data really is but I do feel these people sampled assume dictators are like magic genies that make treats appear and most likely would never last a day living in Russia or North Korea.
| I feel with how people like this thing, along with electing idealogue hacks or even getting pissy change doesn't happen the day after a new party is elected is like "I want treats, no work just treats!"
Mix of magical thinking, vibes based politics and a lack of education on the time needed to grow the ecomony or get things done.

We should drag all extended royal families worldwide to respective central squares and execute them for being royalty. No men will be free while a sliver of royalty exists. Revolutions didnt finish their job.

| Some 52 per cent of Gen Z - people aged between 13 and 27 - said “the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections”.
The poll, which was conducted for Channel 4's ‘Gen Z: Trends, Truth and Trust’ report, also found one in three young people want the army in charge of the country.
Meanwhile, 47 per cent agreed “the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution”.
