I prefer chocolate ice-cream to strawberry ice-cream, so in a poll saying would I rather have chocolate or strawberry ice-cream I’d say chocolate… but it doesn’t mean I don’t like strawberry ice-cream.

Fascinating; still the majority don’t want him to be King. Love the Telegraph reporting style. I think it deserved to be in your summary Anthony- how well he does as POW, whether he has a right to speak out etc. is, In my opinion, far less important than the majority of people still do not want him to be King. So his support has gone up from the previous poll, but he still does not have majority support; yes, in one way that can be seen by him as good news but the reality remains that for at least three years (the polls being 2005 and late 2008) the majority of people in the UK do not Charles to be King. I’d love it if the Teleghraph had also put in a ‘Republican’ option as that would have indicated how many were against the monarchy on principle (or, if you prefer, how many people want this country to have a fully operating democracy) and, therefore, how many just can’t stand Charles. The anti-Charles percentage would be fascinating to watch over the years…
