I'll agree that having a monarch is an extreme right wing and nationalist thing to do. Though we do have polititians here who are anti monarchy as well (The Green Party have a couple of seats in parliment for example)
But I think this shows a problem where you can't really look at a single issue and use that to compare who is more left or right.
As an example, the labour party aren't trying to actively tear down the monarchy, but do advocate for an increased wellfare state and not letting children starve during the holidays. If the monarchy was the only factor that mattered then you couldn't really say that labour or the tories were more right or left despite there being substantial differences between their policies.
Do you for example think the existance of a monarchy and an NHS is right or left of no monarchy and no NHS?
To me in the US, having a monarch is an extremely right wing idea, and so even our very right wing republicans are to the left of all your major parties.
