Leaders criss-cross country
By Sasjkia Otto
The main party leaders will be campaigning across the country to win over voters on the eve of the election as polls suggest the outcome will be too close to call.
Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg were up early today meeting voters and David Cameron campaigned throughout the night.
Gordon Brown was giving an interview on BBC radio live Breakfast in Leeds and visiting market workers. He said he wanted as many Labour votes as possible, rather than tactical anti-Tory votes
He will visit also constituencies in north Wales, the north west and Yorkshire before heading up to his home seat of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath where he will remain on polling day.
David Cameron will continue his 24-hour UK tour meeting shiftworkers including firefighters, warehouse workers, bakers and florists in Darwen, Wakefield and Grimsby and Calverton.
He told GMTV it was the “most important election in a generation” and he campaigned through the night because he “didn’t want to waste any hours on the last day and a bit”.
He will be moving on to Dudley at 1145, Montgomeryshire at 1430 and speaking at a campaign rally in Bristol at 1800.
Nick Clegg is visiting constituencies considered unwinable a month ago.
He is attending a public rally in Eastbourne with Stephen Lloyd, the Liberal Democrat candidate for Eastbourne. He will then head north for a question and answer session with students at the University of Durham at 1600 before finishing the day with an election rally at Baker’s Pool in Sheffield at 1845.
