David Cameron wants to stop Ed Miliband forming a government

The Prime Minister said the General Election was “not a time to send a message or make a protest” but to stop Labour’s Ed Miliband forming a government.

The Prime Minister said: “I would say to those people that I totally understand the frustration people have felt about issues like immigration where they want more done, and we will do more. And I understand the frustration about Europe - where the country deserves a referendum - and with me as Prime Minister they’ll get that referendum.

“But this election is not a time to send a message or make a protest. This election is about choosing the government of our country for the next five years, and the choice could not be starker between a Conservative government led by me, continuing with a plan that’s working, and putting it all at risk.”

Mr Cameron said he had heard protests “loud and clear” but insisted the key choice for voters had to be between him and Ed Miliband.

He said: “On the key choice about who has got the right team to run the economy, to keep your taxes down, to cut taxes further, to keep generating the jobs and the growth our country needs, come with us, come back home to us, rather than risk all of this good work being undone by Labour.

“That will be the message. That argument will become stronger and stronger because in the end we are choosing a government, we are choosing a team, and I say choose the team with the track record, don’t risk it.

“If you vote Ukip, if you vote for another minor party, you end up with the risk of Ed Miliband, propped up by Nicola Sturgeon driving him into even more spending, welfare, debt, bloat, all the problems.”
