Nick Clegg has that said both Ed Miliband and David Cameron know they will fall short of a majority in the general election.

He made the comments during a visit to the Panasonic Manufacturing site in Cardiff, after claiming yesterday that "the era of single party politics is over".

They will tell you they think they are going to get a majority.

I think in their heart of hearts they know they are not and I think most people know they are not.

So the question is not who gets a slam dunk result where one party can run everything in the way they want.

The question is how do we make sure we have the right kind of people around the table doing the responsible thing for the country.

– Nick Clegg
