Do we trust our politicians to deal with Britain’s ties with Europe? The polar opposites on the matter, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage, will be making their case for reconfiguring Britain’s relationship this Wednesday, but it appears we have little faith in either of them.

While Nigel Farage is trusted by only 11 per cent, Nick Clegg scores the worst — he is trusted by seven per cent of the general public and just under half of his own voters, no doubt due to his apparently flexible position on the issue.
