"The real choice is between the old politics of Labour and Conservatives and something different, something new and that is what we offer."

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has said the general election will not be the usual "two-horse race" between Labour and the Conservatives.

"This isn't the old politics of a two-horse race between Labour and the Conservative Party. The real choice is between the old politics of Labour and Conservatives and something different, something new and that is what we offer."

Mr Clegg said, "This is a huge, huge election. It is certainly the beginning of the end for Brown, that's for sure.

"He is directly responsible for so many things that have gone wrong in the last 13 years - the illegal invasion of Iraq that only we stood against, the unfairness and inequality in Britain that we have been campaigning against, the rottenness and corruption in Parliament that we have been speaking out about long before the other parties realised there was a problem.

"And the banks - Brown's utter failure to stop the greed in the banks which has now created this recession and hit so many people so hard. Remember, Vince Cable stood alone in the House of Commons saying this can't go on and neither the Conservative or Labour parties realised that we were right and they were wrong.

"It has become harder to get on under Brown and that's what we are here to change."

Voters have until April 20th to register to vote.
