The verdict is clear: nearly two thirds reject the idea of a parenting licence, leaving little room for doubt.
The gender divide is striking: men are split evenly, while women reject the idea by a wide margin.
The 45-54 age group supports it unanimously, while 25-34s and those 65+ are unanimously opposed: age is a strong fault line.
The debate captures the core tension: the risk of discrimination and the absurdity of a licence that cannot guarantee good parenting, set against the view that a simple training course could be useful without making parenthood inaccessible.
