The Conservatives and Labour launch their final push to woo voters ahead of this week’s British general election, as potential kingmaker parties mark out their territory.
Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour opposition leader Ed Miliband kick off the final three days of campaigning with stark messages to voters about the choice they face.
With polls showing the two main parties neck-and-neck and unlikely to win a majority, the race to take Downing Street will likely hinge on smaller parties such as the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Liberal Democrats.
“It’s the start of a week when Britain will decide its future. By Friday you’ll either have Ed Miliband or me as your prime minister,” Cameron said.
“It’s that simple — an inescapable choice: me leading a strong and stable government, or with him: the chaos of being held to ransom by the SNP.
“Your vote can and will make a difference. It’s that’s close.”
