MOSCOW, November 6 (RIA Novosti) — UK Labour Party Leader Ed Miliband will cost his own party votes at the upcoming General Election in 2015, The Guardian reported Thursday citing an MP from the Labour Party.
"We are down to 29 per cent in the polls and that could go down further. He is less popular than Nick Clegg and he will cost us votes at the General Election," The Guardian reported a Labour MP as saying Thursday.
"We are hearing it on the doorstep. People are saying 'you are doing an alright job but we don't like your leader'. He is costing me votes," the MP added in his conversation with the newspaper.
In an interview with BBC, Miliband denied dissent within the party, saying "It is a nonsense," and that "the Labour Party's focus is on the country."
Last week, the polling company YouGov indicated that Miliband's ratings had reached their all-time low.
Ed Balls from the Labour Party denied media reports that a plot was being put up to remove Miliband.
"I think it is all nonsense," Balls said as quoted by Sky News.
The 2015 UK General Election will take place in the spring of the next year before the 56th Parliament of the United Kingdom is convened. The last election took place in 2010, with the Conservative Party, headed by the incumbent Prime Minister David Cameron, winning the majority of the legislative seats.
