Your Policy Ideas Results

Gordon Brown has been Prime Minister for a full week. After an initially impressive start, he performed poorly at his first PMQs today, needing to be rescued by John Reid over the Government's position concerning Hizb-ut-Tahrir.

The question now is how David Cameron will respond. Concluding the policy survey that we have been conducting since the Conservative leader announced that he would be launching a Blizzard of Ideas against the new Prime Minister, below are the top ten policies suggested and voted on by The Difference readers that you would most like to see rolled out in the coming weeks, listed under the six headings being used in the Party's official policy review process. Interestingly, the most popular suggestion was made by Alex, the recent winner in our ongoing comment competition!
