51 per cent, agreed with the statement that [...] “we have to get rid of it.” In comparison, 33 per cent said the monarchy is an important part of the country’s history.

What kind of polling is this? It is not a contradictory standpoint to both say that something is an important part of a countries history, and it should be removed anyways.

That what happens when uneducated people participate in these polls.

I don't think the issue is the people participating, it's the design of the poll itself

The design of the poll is fine, if people were educated on how the monarchy works.

You don’t go into a lawyers office and poll them on a bunch of construction topics, that doesn’t mean the design of the poll is inherently flawed.
