LONDON (AP):

Britain's candidates were kept busy yesterday campaigning from Cornwall in southwestern England to the far northern reaches of Scotland in search of votes with the general election just a day away.

Polls suggest the race is extremely close and no clear trend has emerged. Many believe no party will win a majority, leading to a hung Parliament and a period of negotiations before a new government emerges.

Prime Minister David Cameron from the Conservatives and Labour Party leader Ed Miliband are virtually even in last-minute surveys despite weeks of intense campaigning.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, who hopes to play kingmaker, plans a 1000-mile bus tour in the campaign's final days.

He said yesterday there was no way Cameron or Miliband will gain a majority, leaving his party to provide stability.
