What does this sentence mean?"There are very few people who would not like to do it."
What does this sentence mean?"There are very few people who would not like to do it." Does it mean "many people would like to do it" or  " no one would like to do it"?

Answer

Neither of these. It means that the vast majority of people would like to do it.

If 'very few' is maybe 5%, then it means that 95% of people would like to do it. This is 'most' rather than 'many'.
