How many orphans are in the uk?

In UK, how many people are deeply monarchists, how many Republicans and how many are not interested?

• First of all, sorry for my poor English (I'm Italian). In Italy, we had the impression that the popularity of the monarchy in the UK since 1992 till the wedding of Charles and Camilla felt dramatically. In recent years, it seemed that, maybe because of William, the popularity has not raised but at least not felt anymore. In your opinion, how many British are now: - strongly monarchists - strongly republicans - basically indifferent or, at most, monarchists for "inertia" ? And are there differences related to the origin and / or social or economic class?

• Answer:

  According to BBC Any Questions yesterday it was stated by participants supported by Jonathan Dimbleby that opinion polls before the wedding of William and Kate revealed 80% of UK population are in favour of the monarchy continuing while just 20% favour Britain becoming a Republic. I am not sure exactly when and where that poll was conducted but nobody on the programme disputed those figure, which I feel sure they would have if the figures were not correct. Since the Royal wedding it seems the proportion favouring a Republic has dropped further. I think the opinions are due to fact that a Republic would mean a politician becoming Head of State in place of the Queen as in the USA where George Bush and then Barrack Obama were both Head of State and Head of government. Because while most Brits continue to admire and respect the Queen even if they are very much less supportive of Prince Charles becoming King, the opinion of Brits about such politicians as Tony Blair or Margaret Thatcher or David Cameron being President are very much lower. The low opinion of Brits of British politicians has been intensified by the parliament expense scandal exposed by the Daily Telegraph, with outrageous fiddling and huge expense claims made by the likes of Cameron "within the rules"being highlighted equally among a high number of both Conservative and Labour MPs. That could be why people in the UK are so much more trusting of the Queen and Royalty than of politicians, because nobody trusts politicians, whatever Party they are part of. Whereas the Queen is so dignified and honourable and so conspicuously above the petty minded inter-party squabbling and hooliganism we see each Wednesday during PM's Question Time. The reaction of most Brits when they watch the rabble in the Commons such as exchanges between Cameron and Ed Milliband and the associated animal noises from the rest of them on both sides is "God save our gracious Queen, long live our noble Queen....".
