How do you visualize the next generations in an Anglo-Monolingual or Bilingual Political scenario?

Question

Will Politics remind Monolingual for ever?

Answer 1

english will remain the official language. Chinese will become an official UN language, French and German will fall by the wayside, Spanish will be important as the populations grow but political power will not be the same.
Arabic language will not be used officially, as western policy has shifted to a "who cares what they think" mentality.

Answer 2

Have you ever watched a house or senate hearing?

It takes them foreeever to go about the process of introducing a bill and yielding bits and pieces of time for eveeryone and their dogs cousin to talk about it even when the subject has been already drug through every possible angle.

Nothing would get done if it had to be done in more than one language.

Answer 3

maybe not forever, but since the majority of the US are still English-speakers, then politicians will speak in English. It doesnt mean that there are political shows on spanish language channels, but that most politicians are white Americans that only know English, or only choose to speak in English.

Answer 4

English is the language of business. French is the language of diplomacy. I don´t think that will ever change. Despite the fact that people are multilingual, there will still have to be one common language for certain aspects of life.

Answer 5

I think some of us will fight to keep English our official language. And I think we (or our children) will have to fight.

And since the rest of the world is being taught English in elementary school, I doubt the universal English preference will change any-time soon.

Answer 6

Hopefully we'll elect a leader that will make English our official national language and close up the borders!

Answer 7

Pretty soon the US and Mexico will be one Spanglish-speaking country.
