Ed Miliband has accused the Tories of using the SNP to
distract voters from their record as he tries to kill off talk of post-election
deals.
The Labour leader said the election was "not a clash of
two nations but a clash of two visions".
His party has been attacked by the Tories over potential
alliances with the SNP in a hung parliament.
The Conservatives said it was a legitimate argument because
Labour "can't get a majority without the SNP".
And Labour former Scottish first minister Henry McLeish said
Mr Miliband may have little choice but to negotiate with the Scottish
Nationalists.
At the end of the day, Ed is not going to exclude
himself from being prime minister by not talking to anyone," he told BBC
Radio 4's Today programme
'No child benefit cuts'
In an appeal on the last weekend before the 7 May poll,
David Cameron urged people not to vote tactically, but to "vote for your
preferred prime minister".
"Don't take a risk thinking 'I'll vote Liberal Democrat
and hope I get the prime minister I want' or vote UKIP and hope somehow it
emerges," he told BBC Breakfast.
If you want me to carry on leading the country, making
sure we have that stability and security in our economy, vote accordingly
because we are only 23 seats short from that overall majority."
He also insisted there would be no cuts to child benefits as
part of Conservative plans to shave £12bn off the welfare budget.
