Regardless of politics and just as DG says I am very glad that I live in a country where this kind of thing is possible.
DG is also right that, no matter what its ultimate name is this particular vessel will always be known as Boaty McBoatface.
It certainly has all the making of many marketing and promotional opportunities.
Perhaps this slightly comical notoriety will help promote an interest in the projects that this ship will be involved in and possibly rekindle a public interest in ships. But whatever happens the ship will always raise a smile when she puts into port.

ps Dave I disagree about locking this thread, we are all grown up on this forum and quite capable of accepting another persons point of view without resorting to hysterics .
