News Desk


David Cameron the leader of the Conservative party was careful not to a rule out right a power sharing agreement with the Liberal Democrats in the event of a hung parliament, but underlined his party's belief that the Conservatives can win an overall majority.

David Cameron said:

"I think it was a wise thing to say that it was the public, that are the masters and not politicians, and I think what he was saying (Nick Clegg) if there was a vote and Labour clearly lost the election but could just about cobble together a numerically a majority with the Liberals then he (Nick Clegg) would not do that".

Responding to what Nick Clegg said on the BBC that "it is an inevitable fact, it is just stating the obvious, the party which has got the strongest mandate from the British people will have the first right to seek to govern."

David Cameron at a "Cameron Direct" meeting in north London organised at the Hasmonean school in Finchley said on the potential for a deal with the Liberal Democrats:

"You fight a battle with a view to win a battle, and that is perfectly possible to win an outright majority, and all my energy is to do that, if I don't do that then we will look at a new set of circumstances at the time".

The Conservative party in a recent opinion poll conducted by YouGov shows the Conservatives on 40%, Labour 27% and Liberal Democrats on 18% which would translate into  a 58 seat majority for the Conservatives
