More Than Half of Gen Z Believe the UK Should Be a Dictatorship

28 January 2025 5:00 PM

Most young people – 52% of Gen Z, aged 13-27 – are in favour of turning the UK into a dictatorship, according to an alarming study for Channel 4. The Times has more.

Most young people are in favour of turning the UK into a dictatorship, according to a “deeply worrying” study, which has revealed an acceptance of authoritarianism and radicalism among Generation Z.

52% 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”.

33% suggested the UK would be better off “if the army was in charge”.

47% agreed that “the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution” — compared with 33% of 45 to 65-year-olds.

The findings from the polling company Craft form part of a Channel 4 report, Gen Z: trends, truth and trust, which will be published at a Royal Television Society event on Thursday. They were based on a sample of 3,000 adults of all ages.

It also revealed the emergence of a stark gender divide among young people.

45% of male respondents aged 13 to 27 said that “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”.

On the media, 58% of Gen Z respondents said they considered social media posts from friends to be as — and sometimes more — trusted than established journalism.

Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson were among the influencers to command similar trust by 42% of men.
