David Cameron is to promise that the Conservatives will not form another coalition with the Liberal Democrats, it has been reported.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has stated publicly that Lib Dems will go into the election with the aim of securing a place in government in coalition with either the Conservatives or Labour, arguing that the third party is in a position to temper the excesses of either of its larger rivals.
