A recent study commissioned by Channel 4 reveals that 52% of Generation Z in the UK believe the country would benefit from a strong leader who doesn't have to engage with democratic processes like parliament and elections. This alarming trend in youth perception of governance is echoed by previous polls, where 33% expressed that military rule would be preferable. While older generations may quickly dismiss these views as naive, there’s a pressing need to address why younger individuals are gravitating towards authoritarianism, especially in light of recent civil unrest involving youth.
52% of Gen Z, aged 13-27, believe the UK would benefit from a strong leader bypassing parliament and elections, revealing concerning views on governance.
The idea of strong leadership without parliamentary processes, endorsed by over half of Gen Z, raises alarm about the erosion of democratic values among youth.
