Lib Dems top poll of most missed politicians

PoliticsHome asked voters across the UK which political big hitters they missed the most. Nick Clegg's two predecessors came out on top.

Charles Kennedy and Sir Menzies Campbell are the former political ‘big beasts’ that the public would most like to see more of, according to a new PoliticsHome poll. 

1,228 UK adults were shown a list of former political big hitters and asked to tick all of those they would like to see return to prominence. 

The two former Lib Dem leaders were the most popular choices, with just over a third of people (thirty four per cent) wishing for Kennedy’s return, and twenty two per cent backing Campbell. Kennedy was the most popular choice among supporters of all political parties and none. 

Tony Blair, with a fifteen per cent share of the vote, had marginally more support than his former cabinet colleagues David Blunkett and John Prescott. 

Good riddance to ex-Labour ministers

The poll also asked people to say whether they would like to see more of any of the Labour ministers who resigned from the government this summer.  The results were rather different.

Not one of them registered a significant level of support.  James Purnell, with ten per cent, was the most popular. 

In contrast, over three quarters of voters answered ‘none of the above’. 

PoliticsHome interviewed 1228 UK adults by email between 4-7 September 2009.  Results are weighted by party ID to reflect the UK at large.

No Tories in the first poll? I'm not one, but seems a surefire way to affect the results in a way so as to make them meaningless!
