Leaders in last ditch campaigning

The leaders of Britain’s political parties are scrambling across the country in order to grab any undecided votes as the battle for government draws to a close.

 All of the leaders have been travelling across the country on battle buses, shaking hands and kissing babies.

David Cameron is concentrating his efforts in the north west of England, Scotland and the Midlands. He has continued with his warning of a minority Labour government being supported by the Scottish National Party. He is hoping that if he keeps campaigning on this issue whilst issuing warnings of the prospect, enough voters will be frightened into voting Tory. 

The UK prime minister is pleading with the British people to allow him to finish the job, insisting the country is in a better state now than it was five years ago.

“Is our country stronger than it was five years ago? Yes. Is there more to do? Yes. But I would say stick with the team that is turning things around."

Ed Miliband is hoping his presence in Tory held marginal seats in the north of England would make an impact on polling day. The leader of the Labour is hoping to improve on the number of seats won by Gordon Brown in 2010. He is pledging a"clear choice" between "a government that puts working people first or one that works for the privileged few".

In a bid to prove that he has what it takes to become Prime Minister he says:

“Many people are still making up their minds at this election and my message to all those undecided voters is: you can have another five years of a prime minister who'll put the rich and powerful first in our country, or, if I’m prime minister, I’ll put working people first.”

Nick Clegg is continuing his journey from Land’s End to John O'Groats through Liberal Democrat constituencies he is hoping to retain.
