To boost the Labor Party's dwindling popularity, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has resorted to various methods of wooing Britons, including calling them at 6 a.m. to check their concerns.

One recipient of his calls was Stephen Carter, who was on overtime work when Brown called. Carter was one of many Britons who had written to the prime minister. Brown responded to their letters by personally calling to look into their concerns.

According to the latest YouGov survey of the Daily Telegraph, Labor had an approval rating of 23 percent, considered an all-time low in the party's history for over 50 years. In contrast, the Conservative Party had an approval of 47 percent.

Labor's unpopularity stems from recent global economic developments such as the drastic dip in housing prices and soaring food and energy bills, which all blew in during Brown's term.
