LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron's failure to win parliamentary backing for military action against Syria has hurt him politically, polls showed on Monday, with most Britons thinking him "reckless" and support for his party falling.

A Comres/ITV poll showed that 59 percent of those asked thought he had been reckless to organise last Thursday's vote on military action without knowing whether he had lawmakers' backing.
