Baku-APA. British Prime Minister David, who is seeking public support in resolving Britainâ€™s debt crisis, is to urge people to adopt a â€œcan-do optimismâ€ approach, APA reports quoting Press TV.

Addressing the final day of the Tory party conference overshadowed by demands to slow down deficit reduction, Cameron is expected to defend governmentâ€™s austerity measures, saying, â€œOur plan is right, and our plan will work. But this is the crucial point: it will only work if we stick with it.â€

In addition, he will ask the British nationals to pay off their debts to help the country recover from economic recession, saying, â€œThe only way out of a debt crisis is to deal with your debts.â€

The British government is under fresh pressure as personal debt has reached almost Â£1.5 trillion, unemployment has risen to 2.5 millions, and government borrowing has rose by Â£15.9 billion in the 12 months to August.

Despite Cameron is expected to call a "moment of danger" for the British ailing economy, he is likely to insist that â€œRight now, we need to be energised. Thatâ€™s why so much of my leadership is about unleashing your leadership.â€

According to the ComRes survey for ITV News, 54% of British people believe that Cameronâ€™s leadership on economic issues is "fairly or very poor".

Moreover, he will refer to public sector unions arranging strikes next month, saying, â€œIf we put in the effort, correct those mistakes confront those vested interests and take on the failed ideas of the past, then I know we can turn this ship around.â€
