Poll Results - Britishness in decline
Britishness is in decline according to visitors of United Irelander. Having been up for a week, I've closed the poll on my sidebar which asked the question:
Is Britishness in decline?
The results were:
Yes - 78% (18 votes)
No - 22% (5 votes)
Would a similar result occur if a proper survey was conducted of people in Britain? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
I've stated already on United Irelander that I personally feel Britishness is in decline but it's more of a decline in the perception of Britishness. The challenge that Britishness faces is whether or not it can successfully incorporate a growing sense of Englishness within the United Kingdom.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the UK in the future.
