I don't quite know what he could do to make it even tougher, but I think he will be.

Are you a royalist?

I'd certainly much rather have a royal family than, you know, a republic.

I've come to see that actually countries which do have a monarchy tend to be more stable.

They can change the mood by their sort of ability to just be above politics.

And I think being above politics is a huge asset right now to any nation.

It's great.

It's wonderful that he's done that.

Well, I think honestly, it was a battle cry that absolutely needed to be sounded.

You know, I mean, we have...

in the last sort of few years been so bullied by the super rich.

There's a sense that the rich are the ones who have the voice in every debate, whether it's about academia or just the way the nation is run or how we live our lives with the tech revolution, et cetera.

And people have felt, I think, more and more hopeless about the enormity of the wealth and the impossibility of sort of fighting it for regular, as it were, people.

And I do think that Mamdani has shown how to get your sort of fight back and has won against all those people.

I mean, it's very inspiring, you know, coming up from nowhere and yet the power of his ability to sort of excite and inspire people has made people feel, you know what, you know, money doesn't just buy everything.

I mean, all that money went into kind of stopping him and he still won.

And you don't have to like his ideas even to just be glad of that.
