Is David Cameron doing a good job as PM?

“Don’t like him much. I voted for Labour, nobody voted for the coalition. Nobody likes the cuts but they need to be made.”

“No, not really. Tough job anyway. He’s gone back a bit on what he said he was going to do. Most of them do.”

“Negative opinion, he’s beating around the bush a little. Goes abroad on holiday when stuff is going on. He should work on domestic issues first, not foreign issues. He’s the same as Tony Blair and Gordon Brown; I mean Brown’s gone hiding somewhere.”

“He’s doing an alright job, cuts need to be done but people aren’t going to like it.”

“Not really, I think he has condemned us to a bad economy.”

“No, he hasn’t done anything he promised. Economy hasn’t got any better, just getting worse.”

“I don’t like him and I think raising tuition fees is a mistake.”

“No... he's out of touch with the working people.”

“I don’t think he’s a good Prime Minister because he has made too many mistakes.”

“I think it’s too soon to tell because there was too much mess to clear up because of labour but he’s making the same mistakes as Blair by interfering with foreign matters like in Libya.”

“He’s rubbish he doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.”

“He is doing alright, I think he is being what he said he would be true to his word.”

“No, he’s not a leader he’s not sure what direction he is taking the country in.”

“Yes, he is doing a good as job as he can dealing with the Eurozone crisis.”

“No, because he said he would reduce jobless numbers and he clearly hasn’t.”

“No, I don’t think he has managed the banking system well, and he is blaming the Labour party all the time and I don’t think it’s fair when he is doing the same.”

“No, he only cares about the welfare of his party, and not the people.”

“No, I think he’s gone about tackling the debt crisis the wrong way. Instead of trying to grow ourselves out of the recession, he has made so many cuts we are on the brink of another.”

“No, I’ve just left university and seeing the tuitions fees raised as high as they have been is a disgrace, it shouldn’t have been allowed to happen as easily as it appeared too.”

“No, I’ve always been a Labour supporter and he never seems to be there when there is a crisis, he’s gone on holiday a lot this year, I just feel like he hasn’t put a lot of time into it.”

“No, I own a small business and I have done for years, I have never seen such difficult times, I find making money even harder now than ever and I am genuinely worried by the prospect of letting my staff go. One of the main reasons I see my business struggling is taxes.”

“No, I voted for the first time during the last general election and I have found that most of the promises he made have not been followed through.”

“No, I find him very patronising, I think he proved that when he told an MP to “calm down dear”.”

“No, he doesn’t listen to the people, I don’t believe we should be having taxes on our pensions, working until unreasonable ages, I think it’s a sham.”

“No, I’m a Labour supporter. I don’t like the coalition, I just think it should be a Labour government.”

“No, he’s just ineffective in what he’s done. Besides all the cuts in public spending, everything else has been pushed aside.”

“No. He’s not doing anything about the power, you know the gas and electric. Most people can’t afford their bills.”

“No, he’s cut the public sector fund too much too quickly. Liverpool’s seriously affected, it’s got one of the highest numbers of employees in the public sector.”

“Definitely not, the Conservatives never change their spots. They have no idea about working class people. 26 of the cabinet are millionaires.”

“No, I don’t. David Cameron was saying Labour’s done this to the country but it’s a worldwide thing.”

“Yes, he is. He was left a bad basis by Labour, but in terms of housing I don’t think he is focusing on the right aspects to change.”

“No. It is his general attitude; I don’t think he’s on the wavelength of the people, he should try living in a flat in Liverpool.”

“No. I work in the public services and right now he’s slashing us. He’s taking money from our pensions; there is nothing wrong with Merseyside pension fund. All it is is scare-mongering. It’s the only bonus we get, I don’t want to strike but sometimes you’ve got to take a moral high ground.”

“No. He’s trying to privatise our pensions and take away bus passes and railcards. It’s a disgrace.”

"No. He’s given hundreds of jobs away to Germany instead of bringing them to England; he’s trying to sell us out to Europe.”

“Yes. It’s a very difficult job and I don’t think anyone can get the whole thing right. Apart from the benefit system too many people are claiming benefits that don’t need them, who is paying for them? The tax payers. I had a blind uncle who worked all of his life.”

“I’m not a big fan. He doesn’t understand what the people want, and he doesn’t have a clue what it’s like for people that aren’t as well off.”

“I think that David Cameron has good ideas, but he’s a bit like a child without reins on. I very much doubt that he is going to get in at the next election.”

“No. He’s not doing very well really. He’s too easily persuaded to do things he shouldn’t do.”

“He’s not doing a particularly good job at the moment. He’s a bit of a wet lettuce. I think he’s cutting too many things, and he’s doing it far too quickly.”

“No. I think the man’s a joke, I daresay cuts were needed, but not like this. Take for example, students, with David Cameron in charge you can go to university and end up being £50,000 in debt.”

“No. He’s an atrocity towards the government, he’s killing off the economy, and he’s killing off the way to make money.”

“No, it is a hard job to do. I’m more of a Labour person myself but he hasn’t had time to prove himself.”

“I have been affected by his policies. He promised that the pension age would not change for women born between 1950 and 1955. I voted for him on that reason and he lied. I have a very low opinion of him.”

“No, he is concentrating on the cuts too much. I was out of a job for eight months, unemployment has really affected me.”

“No, there are big cuts in the public sector. He could have done it another way.”

“Not particularly, he is the same as Macmillan. He doesn’t know how the other half live.”

“No. The country is going to the dogs. When you have children of your own, you will understand.”

“No. Regarding the cuts from education and NHS in particular he seems to have no idea just how catastrophic the consequences are going to be, it's scary. He just seems so out of touch with the general public.”

“No he’s really bad, he comments on European policies when he shouldn’t. England isn’t as involved in Europe as they should be and that’s because of his decisions.”

“I think Cameron is doing a good job and is better than Gordon Brown, but I’m not Conservative so I don’t really support his decisions.”

“No, I think he’s hopeless to be honest with you. I think what he’s done with the cuts is too quick. If it had happened slower people wouldn’t have minded.”

“I don’t think Cameron is doing well, mainly because of the rise in student fees next year. I know there are a number of other reasons too, but this one personally affects me.”

“I think that Cameron is better than the others but it’s a hard job to do. He was left with a lot of problems to sort out, but I believe he can do a good job. People just need to give him time.”

“No. It’s a difficult situation working with a coalition government. The Tories seem to be left wing or centre left wing whereas the other two [Liberal Democrats and Labour] are far right, which means it’s tough to call all the MPs into line. I don’t think they’re doing a good job. I accept that there needed to be cuts but they’ve done it savagely. It’s difficult, my niece will want to go to university, because her parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents have all been, but it’s whether she can afford it. Education is a right and you should be able to pursue it for however long you want to.”

“No. Bring back Maggie, she had respect for the people and he doesn’t have any respect. I don’t think he’s strong, he’s weak and he isn’t thinking about our country. Upping the tuition fees was ridiculous."

“No, I can’t stand him. I don’t think he’s doing a job at all; he’s horrible, pompous and not a people’s person.”

“No, not really, he’s making a complete mess of the NHS. He seems more concerned about the rich people rather than the poor.”

“No, he’s doing a terrible job, especially with the privatisation and the NHS reform. I think Labour were doing a good job but they needed more time for it to work.”

“No. Well I am doing Occupational Therapy and the government is making it harder to get a job, and then there’s the rise in the university fees. He’s keeping the rich, rich. And there’s no work for us or anybody else.”

“I’m undecided. He’s just making the best out of a bad situation. The entire world is in a bad crisis at the moment, but everyone just focuses on him. My family vote Labour anyway but his image isn’t good.”

“No. He has no other avenues to pursue. I generally don’t like him. He’s acceptable to a great many because he walks around in a tie and talks nicely. Like Blair, his position in Libya is driven by money, power, gas and oil.”

“No. Student fees are ridiculous. It’s stupid, there are hardly any students going to Liverpool anymore.”

“No. He’s just got it all wrong hasn’t he? All this EU business is just rubbish. He just ignores the public.”

“No. I don’t think he’s in touch with real people. He’s more in touch with himself sometimes.”

“No. Definitely not, although he’s better than Tony Blair. Basically he’s backtracked on everything he’s promised to do.”

“Yes, I suppose so. I think he’s doing as good a job as anybody else really.”

“No. I think he is slowly screwing over the lower and middle classes and protecting big businesses and higher classes.”

“No because he is cutting a lot of things people need to fund banker’s stakes and ordinary people are suffering because of it.”

“I am undecided. It’s very difficult. He looks like he is but what’s going on under the surface might be very different.”

“I don’t really know. He’s in difficult circumstances but he wouldn’t be in charge if it was up to me.”

“Yeah, he’s doing his job 70% of the time but he needs to do more. During his time you can see riots and those kinds of things which is making people unhappy.”

“No, because the Tories, they’re millionaires, they have no idea what it’s like to live the way we live and he’s a pushover.”

“I don’t know, I think it’s less about policy and more about his prime ministerial presence. I feel like his involvement in the euro crisis at the moment just highlights how despite having a certain kind of sense of entitlement, I don’t think he actually comes across well in a leadership role.”

“No. I mean I’ve been claiming benefits, I’m not anymore, screwed me over royally, left me with nothing, left me homeless and out of space for a couple of weeks because of all the changes that he’s doing to our UK government. It’s left regular people high and dry and they’re getting screwed over and not to mention the rising cost of everything else. You’re forking out more money and not enough money is coming in, so when you actually start earning money and get a job, people have to get a second job just to try and pay the bills.”

“No, he tells a lot of lies.”

“I don’t really pay much attention but from everything I’ve heard, no.”

“Well he’s not doing a good job for the students is he? I’ve got a grandson who’ll be going to university in a few years, where’s he going to get £9,000 a year? Look at the cost of living. Coming out £30-40,000 debt, it’s an awful lot for children and getting no job at the end of it.”

“Yeah, I think he’s dealing with everything well. He dealt with Libya quickly. Cuts are bad, but I think they are necessary. Maybe not as harsh as they have been, but he’s doing a job where anyone that comes in would have to make cuts and he’s done it. He's doing alright, not brilliant, but he’s doing alright.”

"Yeah, well average, could do better, there has been worse. I’m a Labour supporter. But I don’t think it matters to any of them, all they care about is themselves.”

“Tricky because I think the cut-backs are needed but at the same time I think that they are cutting down on funding here but in a lot of counties down south they aren’t. Some of the councils down south are getting more funding and we're getting cuts here. I don’t think it’s right, it’ll be a haven for criminals, it’ll be like paradise.”

“No, is he hell. He should’ve had the bottle to go on with a minority government, and then go back to the country for a vote; I think he’s there under false pretences.”

“No, because I have been raised in a Labour household, and he tried to denationalise the NHS.”

“No, he hasn’t helped. The economy hasn’t improved.”

“Not very well, his policies are more towards the middle and upper class, and not so much the working class.”

“I voted him in and I’m a wee bit disappointed. I like him personally, but I don’t think he’s very effective.”

“He’s sort of done OK, but the problem that he’s got, is that with the rising unemployment he’s not thinking about the consequences that it’s going to achieve. For example with the cuts that are happening it’s going to mean more people are unemployed, which means there will be more people claiming benefits.”

“He says what his plans are for the future, I think that the recession, I think if something like that had got sorted out quicker the country would be in a better state. Things are getting done slowly, but it’s a bit too slow in my opinion.”

“Lousy, without a doubt. I think they’ll have another general election. He came in with all the bright ideas and he doesn’t bring anything to it.”

“Some of his things are alright, but all of these cuts are no good, he’s hurting the wrong people.”

"No. I don’t think any Tory would do a good job as Prime Minister.”

“Yes. He’s handling the situation well, anybody would do the same. Although I don’t like cuts because I’m a student.”

“No, I think he’s too upper class, he doesn’t have a clue about the real world.”

“No, not at all. He’s trying to take sick people and send them back to work, my partner’s in a wheelchair, we’ve got a baby, how can she go back to work? It’s impossible.”

“Yes. I think he’s dealing with very difficult circumstances, like the international economic environment. The decisions he’s making will benefit younger people in the long term. People have to be led.”

“No. He’s just looking after the rich and forgetting the poor. He lives in his own bubble. I’m just waiting for him to say ‘let them eat cake’.”

“I’m not a fan of austerity reports. I do appreciate cuts are necessary but it’s too severe.”

“He’s not good. Since he’s been Prime Minister, there’s been riots, the problem with student fees, and so many more problems.”

“I don’t like what he stands for; I think he’s a bit of a charlatan. I don’t know how he manages to say things with a straight face but somehow he manages it!”

"I’ve been brought up as Labour. Labour’s for the workers and we’ve helped students and first time buyers etc. Conservative is just for the people with money. He reduced heating allowance by fifty pounds and it wasn’t even in the paper. I think Cameron is sneaky.”
