I'm surprised it's that few.

Besoeker, Don't listen to the figures he gives - he often gets them wrong and/or exaggerates. In 'rough' figures opinion polls have shown an underlying trend of about a fifth of the voting population across the UK who claim they don't support the Monarchy.

Britannist, I think you might have misread my post.

I'm pretty sure I read it correctly.
Your said in your post that you had expected that the level of opposition to the Monarchy might have been higher than the third of voters claimed by This England.
I then made the point that support for republicanism was not as high as the third claimed by This England.
In other words, you thought that anti-Monarchy feeling might have been higher than a third. I said that it was lower than a third, and that the figure from This England is wrong.
