@cstross An easy enough choice, though it would have been easier still if we'd had "Larry the Cat" as a further option

@statsguy @cstross agree Larry the Cat would be much better than either Charles III or Trump, but there are some who don't like cats (I think they are mad) but why not simply offer option 5 'none of the above (and I'm in the UK)'.

Of course that option 5 would exclude a majority of Scots.

@HighlandLawyer @statsguy @cstross really? at the moment (willingly or not), Scots are his British subjects. I used 'British' so English, Welsh, Scottish and NI Unionists could all express a wish for an opt out. Perhaps I should have just said '(I'm in the UK)'. Of course he's King elsewhere, such as Canada, too.

Last census had 62.4% of the population stating they were "Scottish only" (18.3% "Scottish & British"). So yes, "in the UK" would be more useful.
