By the general public, most certainly. Not, obviously, by people who post on forums such as these.

Labour:

Attlee - Definite FF
Gaitskell - Definite FF
Wilson - Everything I've read about him makes me say HP, even if he was a good PM
Callaghan - Seemed like a FF
Foot - I might have joined the SDP because I disagreed with his politics, but Michael Foot was a true FF
Kinnock - Lean FF. Never heard anything bad about him personally
Smith - Definitely FF from all I've seen
Blair - Probably biggest HP ever to lead the Labour Party.
Brown - I lean FF
Miliband - He seems genuine and he gets way more sh**t than he deserves over his mannerisms. FF

Conservatives:

Churchill - FF, even if in some cases he would behave like an HP.
Eden - HP, seemed arrogant and conceited.
Macmillan - Seemed like a FF to me.
Douglas-Home - FF. I can't see he did anything horrible.
Heath - FF, even if he seemed pompous and arrogant, because he sacked Enoch Powell and became more liberal as he went along.
Thatcher - Horrible. HP. I can't find anything good to say about her either as PM or personally.
Major - I say FF, because I honestly feel bad for the kind of backbenchers he had to deal with, especially later in his term.
Hague - HP, especially for that stupid stunt he tried pulling on his last day as an MP
Duncan-Smith - Seems HP.
Howard - Definitely HP
Cameron - Mostly HP. Standing up in favor of marriage equality as a Tory was very hard and he definitely is right about UKIP, but he's such a jagoff to people. I can't say FF on someone who treats people that poorly.

Attlee was sort of rubbish and most of the creations of that era that he get's credit for were instigated by far more brilliant minds in the party at that time, but he's 'deified' by Labour so he gets 'FF' from many people out of expectation.

Labour:

Attlee - HP
Gaitskell - HP
Wilson - FF
Callaghan - HP
Foot - HP
Kinnock - HP
Smith - FF (peace be upon him)
Blair - Tanned HP
Brown - HP
Miliband - UH...

Conservatives:

Churchill - HP (post war)
Eden - Idiot
Macmillan - FF
Douglas-Home - meh
Heath - meh
Thatcher - FF because she gets more attention and sh-t than she deserves
Major - FF
Hague - HP
Duncan-Smith - HP
Howard - FF
Cameron - FF

And because it's only fair.

Liberals/Alliance/Lib Dems

Davies - meh
Grimond - FF
Thorpe - Beyond massive HP
Steel - FF
Jenkins - HP
Owen - HP
Maclennan - HP
Ashdown - HP
Kennedy - Tired and emotional
Campbell - HP
Clegg - FF (screw you all)

Of course if we're extending matters to the Liberals (HP to all, etc), Thorpe was clearly the worst human being to a lead a major party in Britain postwar. And mentioning his name gives me an excuse to post this!
