Quote:More than half of Gen Z believe Britain should be ruled by a dictator and one in three want the army in charge, a new poll has revealed.

It comes as 52 per cent of Gen Z - people aged between 13 and 27 - said they thought 'the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections'.

A total of 33 per cent suggested the UK would be better off 'if the army was in charge' while 47 per cent agreed 'the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution'.

This compared with 33 per cent of 45 to 65-year-olds. The figures, based on a sample of 3,000 adults of all ages, come from polling company Craft and will be published at a Royal Television Society event on Thursday.

They also reveal 45 per cent of male respondents aged 13 to 27 believe 'we have gone so far in promoting women's equality that we are discriminating against men'. A similar proportion agreed that 'when it comes to giving women equal rights, things have gone far enough'.

Perhaps a reflection of the influence of platforms like TikTok, 58 per cent of Gen Z respondents said they considered social media posts from friends to be as - and sometimes more - trusted than established journalism.

While 20th century dictators like Benito Mussolini of Fascist Italy were not directly cited, top influences listed by 42 per cent of male respondents did include Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson.

Oswald Mosley relevant, nazi sympathizers more than anything
