The polls open tomorrow at 7am, which means the

leaders of the parties have had one final campaign push today.

Racing around the country, Gordon Brown, David

Cameron and Nick Clegg have been visiting different towns to urge undecided

voters to show their support. It’s been revealed that one in four of us are

still undecided on who we should vote for tomorrow. David Cameron has been

campaigning overnight claiming that he “didn’t want to waste any hours on the

last day and a bit.” His overnight campaign took him to Cumbria, Lancashire,

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire where he talked to shift workers. The Prime Minister

Gordon Brown recently gave a speech in Bradford, while Nick Clegg took his

campaign to a rally in Eastbourne before heading north to Durham and then

Sheffield.

This election is too close to call with the latest

ComRes poll revealing the Conservatives are in the lead with 37%. Labour follow

with 29% while the Liberal Democrats are on 26%. These results would mean a

hung parliament with the Tories becoming the largest party with 294 seats. They

would be just 32 seats short of a majority – the target being 326 seats.

A YouGov poll for The Sun though paints a very

different picture. Their results put the Conservative party in the lead with

35%, followed by Labour on 30% and the Lib Dems on 24%. This would result again

in a hung parliament but this time Labour would be the biggest party with 288

seats, over the Tories who would have 261.

This is the toughest election to predict in years,

which also makes it one of the most interesting. Who gets your vote and why?

What’s your take on the possibility of a hung parliament? Let us know your

views.

    Nick Clegg still gets my vote because he impressed me the most in the live debates. I think he remains the underdog and still stands a very good chance of being elected.
