Question

Who knew about the recent poll regarding the monarchy? 80% in favour seems far too high!?

Answer 1

I wasn't asked for my opinion and  I am not in favour of the monarchy

Answer 2

80% seems right to me. I only wish we could have a constitutional monarchy in Hungary, instead of a president who is a politician, voted in by other politicians. Give me a king any day!

Answer 3

Who participated in these surveys? Like most people in Britain, nobody asked me? How do they come up with these figures?

Answer 4

seems perfectly understandable to me - we did one in our local area (leicestershire) 92% suport the monarchy

Answer 5

80% does not seem high to me.

Answer 6

What poll??? they didnt ask me and i would have said get rid of the monarchy they re  just  spongers.

Answer 7

They only polled a thousand people! In a country of 65 million,it isn't worth anything.I'm Cymric,so no new prince of wales and no more royalty.

Answer 8

The sample was taken from the fox hunters and their supporters on boxing day.

Tally ho!

Answer 9

There is a worse idea a President called Brown

Answer 10

not high enough.

are you just wishful thinking.

Answer 11

No,it's not high at all. Most British people want to keep the monarchy. To quote Tina Brown,from The Diana Chronicles:"There has never been a serious appetite among the British people for replacing the monarchy,however flawed,with a regime fronted by some official in a business suit.They tried a version of it when they beheaded Charles I and nobody much liked it then.For most Britons,the Crown is the golden thread that connects the people to the most glorious moments of their history,exercising a force for stability in an otherwise bewilderingly changing world."

Answer 12

it will have been carried out by an online survery company - something like yougov - but they select who to send the question to so they can get whatever result the client wants. Bit pointless really.

Answer 13

Tell us then why you think it is to high

Answer 14

I doubt very much that 80% of people are in favour of the monarchy.  I'm not and I'm sure I'm not alone

Answer 15

I think the British and other European nations with monarchs are proud to have a monarchy instead of just a government, PM or president. I know it is a waste of time and is not needed anymore, but I am certainly proud to belong to a country with a monarchy.

Answer 16

Poll results can be rigged, if you want to know if the O.A.P. should be increased, then you do your survey outside the Post Office on pension day.If you want to know if all nursery care should be free you do your survey outside the local `mother and baby` clinic. They have not indicated where this survey was done... Having said all that, I am very happy to have a monarchy as are the majority of the British people, with the exception of just a few.
