UK voters worried more about crime rates than health woes

Most Brits are of the view that the Gordon Brown Government should make the tackling of crime its top political priority.

London, Aug.27 : Most Brits are of the view that the Gordon Brown Government should make the tackling of crime its top political priority.

Tackling crime has replaced health, education and the environment on the crisis priority list, according to a poll undertaken for the Department of Environment.

According to the Daily Mail, the poll results suggest that Labour has failed in its efforts to convince voters that crime is going down.

The poll carried out by BRMB in interviews with 3,600 people produced another inconvenient response for ministers: one in six people said, unprompted, that immigration was the key problem for Government.

When people were asked to voice their concerns in 2001, the number of people who expressed worries about immigration was too few to show up in the poll records.
