The revenue stream for Labour's promised £2.5bn investment in the NHS in England will be in place quick smart, the party has said. Speaking at the launch of a week of campaigning on the NHS, shadow chancellor Ed Balls said: "Our first Budget will put the revenue streams in place. It is our intention to have the full revenue stream up and running in the first full financial year."

The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have committed to increasing funding for the NHS in England by £8bn a year, which health bosses say is needed to sustain the service. Labour has not said whether it will match that figure and queried where the other parties will find the money.

The SNP is "absolutely not talking about voting down Budgets", says Stewart Hosie on the World at One. On the possibility of the SNP working with Labour, he says that in any five-year confidence and supply deal - short of coalition but more comprehensive than a vote-by-vote arrangement - "we would expect our opposition to Trident to be included in that".

Reality Check

According to the Office for National Statistics, as of December 2014, there were 45,325,100 people registered to vote in the UK, which was down 1.8% on the previous year.

There are two reasons why this figure may not give the full picture. The first is that that number has probably risen since December.

The second is that the rules about how you register to vote changed last year. Instead of somebody from a household registering everybody in that household to vote, all individuals are now responsible for their own registration.

Deputy SNP leader Stewart Hosie tells BBC Radio 4's The World At One that a Labour government would not be able to take things for granted, especially as perhaps as many as "30 to 40" of Ed Miliband's own MPs may not back further cuts to public spending along with the SNP ones. He adds that the party wants to build a coalition around "progressive politics" - criticising the "Tory-lite approach" being taken by Labour.

The Green Party has been launching its youth manifesto at Kentish Town Community Centre in north London. The party makes a number of promises, including to:

• Create 2,000 new youth centres
• Invest an extra £1.1bn annual funding in youth services
• Scrap university tuition fees
• Bring back Educational Maintenance Allowance
• Scrap benefits caps and sanctions

At the launch, leader Natalie Bennett said Britain's young people were being "let down" and pledged that her party would "always stand with them, offering hope, not fear - and rebuilding our society into one that works for people of all ages".

Why are the English scared of you? Nicola Sturgeon was asked that after her manifesto launch and it's really the key question. Her riposte? "I offer the hand of friendship." But do people believe that, or do they fear she wants to cause chaos and division at Westminster in pursuit of her bigger ambition - Scottish independence.

Voters would be wise to remember the SNP "care more about" breaking up the United Kingdom "than anything else", Lib Dem Scotland Secretary Alistair Carmichael has said.

Following the SNP's manifesto launch in Edinburgh this morning, Mr Carmichael told the BBC: "They're not going to play their part in rebuilding and rebalancing the economy they're going there to break up the United Kingdom."

He said the SNP had refused to rule out holding a second referendum on independence in Scotland soon, despite claiming during last year's vote that the issue would be settled for a generation.

There is a fear of the "1945 factor" - where after a hard-earned victory, the voters vote for change, writes BBC chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt, in a piece looking at David Cameron's

If people in Scotland want to end austerity, they have to vote for the SNP, John Swinney says. He says the Labour Party, without the influence of the nationalists, will implement £30bn of cuts.

SNP finance minister John Swinney says further marketisation of the NHS in England will have an effect in Scotland, so it is "right and proper" Scottish MPs participate in a vote on that issue.

Politics is sailing into turbulent constitutional waters. That at least is what the opinion polls tell us.

These waters are not entirely uncharted; politicians have had to navigate the shoals of hung parliaments before. But historical precedent and ancient charts can provide only a rough guide through changing winds and tides. Politics, like the sea, is never the same.

There is before us a bewildering array of possible outcomes if no one party gets a majority. And many of those outcomes could involve some new politics for us all to get used to.
