Clegg aiming for election majority

LIBERAL Democrat leader Nick Clegg yesterday said he was aiming to “secure the majority of support” from the British electorate and had not entered into talks with either the Tories or Labour.

He again refused to rule out working with Gordon Brown in the event of a hung parliament but repeated his assertion it would be impossible for the Labour leader to remain in No 10 if his party had slumped to third in the vote share.

Mr Clegg spent the day campaigning on health issues, including a well-received speech to the Royal College of Nursing’s congress, but could not avoid questions on which way he will turn in the event of no party gaining a decisive victory on May 6.
