I neozelandesi preferiscono la monarchia


I neozelandesi preferiscono la monarchia

Un recente sondaggio mostra che in Nuova Zelanda ci sono più neozelandesi che preferiscono una monarchia costituzionale rispetto a quelli che vorrebbero una repubblica.

Il 48% degli intervistati vogliono la Regina come capo di Stato, mentre il 42% si sono espressi a favore di una repubblica. Il resto sono indecisi.

Secondo il sondaggio, le donne e le persone di età superiore a 40 anni preferiscono la monarchia, mentre gli uomini ed i giovani una repubblica.

Inoltre il 45% degli intervistati sostengono il Principe Carlo come prossimo re, mentre il 43% preferiscono il Principe William.
Le donne e giovani preferiscono William come capo di Stato.

PS:
Naturalmente in italia i massmedia danno spazio ai sondaggi solo quando vince la repubblica...


A new poll shows more New Zealanders think the country should stay a constitutional monarchy than those who would like it to become a republic.

The poll of 500 people by Research New Zealand asked whether New Zealand should consider becoming a republic.

Forty-eight percent of those surveyed supported the Queen's position as head of state, while 42% were in favour of a republic. The rest were undecided.

Research New Zealand's director Emanual Kalafatelis says although the results showed a greater number of people wanting to retain the Queen as head of state, the critical result was the increase in those wanting a formal consideration of the country becoming a republic.

Research NZ says in previous polls, the number of people supporting the idea of a republic was about 25% to 30%.

According to the latest poll, women and those aged over 40 were more likely to support the monarchy, while men and younger respondents were more likely to favour a republic.

The research showed 45% of respondents support Britain's Prince Charles becoming the next king, while 43% preferred his son Prince William.

Women and younger respondents were more likely to support William as head of state.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6%.
