Brits think that neither Prime Minister David Cameron nor Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband has the best policies to ‘fix broken Britain’, our poll has revealed.
When asked who has the best policies to ‘fix broken Britain’ three in ten British people say Prime Minister David Cameron, two in ten say leader of the opposition Ed Miliband, but a resounding four in ten think neither man has the capabilities.
In terms of how well they’ve responded to the riots, opinion is split over both Cameron and Miliband’s performance, with slightly more people thinking the Prime Minister performed badly than thinking he did well.

- While 49% believe he has responded badly
- 42% think Ed Miliband has responded well

Following the rioting which took place across many cities in England earlier this month, Prime Minister David Cameron promised repercussions in response to the rioting and looting.

In a speech in his Oxfordshire constituency, Mr Cameron said fixing Britain's ‘broken society’ was of crucial importance and that he is up to the challenge of ‘fixing broken Britain’.
‘The Coalition Government will review every aspect of our work to mend our broken society’, he said.
