"I am not the "king-maker" says Nick Clegg

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said he is not the "king-maker" who will decide whether Labour or the Tories rule in the event of a hung Parliament. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme he said that there would be no "backroom deals" ahead of the election even if it seems no single party was on course to win a Commons majority. Mr Clegg said politicians could not make such decisions "before people have their say" at the polls. Mr Clegg said: "I think the idea of any party being in cahoots to the others is nonsense until the people have had their say.
