^this.

I know a lot of Labour supporters who dislike Ed Miliband, and also a lot of conservatives who hate David Cameron.

Maybe the parties should consider having their supporters have a say in leaders.

I think it is a near first that both leaders of the main parties are disliked by their own supporters and also even a good number of their own MPs.

David Cameron is seen as a loser by some Conservative MP's and supporters for failing to get an overall majority in the easiest election ever to achieve one,namely 2010.
They also don't see him ever getting to the level of support he needs to even just scrape in in 2015, he needs to be a clear 6 points ahead of Labour for an overll majority of the barest number.

I think Labour too, are disillusioned by the 2 Miliband Brothers battle for the Labour leadership.
Also there are those who would like him to promise an EU referendum too.

It is different reasons for why both leaders have lukewarm support from some in their parties but Cameron's is worse because he is seen as a failure as to elections.
The Conservative party has hated having to share power with the Lib Dems and they blame Cameron for that.
