DAVID CAMERON offered an olive branch to the Liberal Democrats last night ahead of a general election that could leave the third party holding the balance of power.
In a New Year message, the Tory leader effectively fired the starting gun on his party’s campaign, warning that the “gloves will be off” from the start of 2010.
But he insisted he wanted a “good clean fight” and would be highlighting policy differences, rather than resorting to “point-scoring and political dividing-lines” like Gordon Brown. Mr Cameron went out of his way to stress that there was a “lot less disagreement than there used to be” between the Conservatives and Nick Clegg’s Lib-Dems.
