 In his keynote speech to Conference today, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said that he is not the Kingmaker - the 45 million voters are. You can see his full speech here , or there is a summary below.
Meanwhile, a survey by Charter 2010 shows massive public support for a multi-party government in the event of a 'hung' parliament. 75% would prefer “all the parties to agree that there should not be another election for four years and to resolve to work together on the country’s urgent problems”. Summary of Nick Clegg's speech: I'm not the kingmaker - 45 million voters are the kingmakers. Voters should give politicians their marching orders - not the other way around. We've made it clear how our Party will change Britain. Under the Liberal Democrats, no-one will pay tax on the first £10,000 they earn. That's the most fundamental change to the tax system for decades. We will give every child the fair start they deserve, by reducing class sizes and increasing one to one tuition in our schools. We'll rebalance the economy so that Britain is no longer just betting on things, but Britain starts building things again. And we will build a clean, open, fair politics. Things don't have to be the way they are. The coming election is a chance to get fairness and to get change. Almost 1 in 4 voters chose the Liberal Democrats at the last election. If that increased to 1 in 3, we could lead the next government. That is what we can achieve together. Thank you for all you are doing to bring it about.
