Sod the politicians. Let's try a different opinion poll.

The Queen drew big crowds here in Sheffield today. Sadly I couldn't go owing to uncertainty over the timing and having to be in work, but from the footage I've seen it looks like it was a great occasion which did the city proud.

Opinions seem to be divided among my friends. The Royal Family - yay or nay? Personally I'm a big yay. They work incredibly hard, and provide experience and continuity in representing our country that's above the squabbling short-term party politics we've seen in tonight's TV debate. They're a big part of our history and our culture, better value for money than most other countries' presidents, and save us the pain of electing one of those. What are your views?
