Plenty still to play for says Hague
William Hague has hit the campaign trail for the final stages of the election campaign saying there is "still all to play for".
Speaking to a crowd of supporters in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the Conservative leader said the campaign was going well.
"I am enjoying myself. I am having an exhilarating time. We are getting a tremendous response. We are meeting floating voters who are deciding to vote Conservative, so there is all to play for."
Hague claimed Labour had spent the campaign avoiding key issues.
"We are talking about all the issues, about crime, about taxation, about the future of the countryside and about saving the pound. They are all key issues, all crucial issues, and we will keep on talking about them right up to the close of polls. The Labour Party has arrogantly presumed that they are going to win a landslide victory. Well, we are speaking up for the people of this country who have been so let down over the last four years," Hague said.
During a visit to Hastings, East Sussex, Hague told fishermen that past Tory governments had failed to reform the Common Fisheries Policy.
"We have a completely different approach to any other government in the last 30 years. We are looking for a pretty drastic revamp. The CFP has been a disaster. We are proposing renegotiation so that fishing policy is under national and then local control, so local fishing industries can decide what happens in their areas," Hague said.
