Before the Election Live page closes for the night, here's a brief look back at the main stories of the day:

• The Lib Dems have said an extra £5bn spending on education in England would be a "red line" in any coalition negotiations
• Labour said it would exempt first-time buyers from stamp duty if their homes cost less than £300,000
• David Cameron has said he'll work the hardest he's ever worked to get a Conservative victory
• 5,000 small firms have signed a letter printed in the Daily Telegraph in support of Tory business plans
• The Greens said they would take away the "right-to-buy"
• Nicola Sturgeon has accused the Tories of bullying Ed Miliband into ruling out a coalition with her SNP party

BBC Radio 4's World Tonight is having a "pipedream discussion" about the prospect of a grand coalition between the Conservatives and Labour if the general election doesn't leave either party with an overall majority. A former Conservative party chairman, Kenneth (now Lord) Baker says there's a lot of agreement between the two parties - building more houses, reducing the deficit, keeping Trident. He says it would be difficult to achieve at the moment "because Britain hasn't had much practice at coalitions".

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood has accused rival parties of "dangerous and divisive rhetoric" in a "desperate" attempt to win votes.

David Cowling, Editor BBC Political Research has been digesting five polls - four GB-wide and one Scottish. He says:

"The four GB polls divide, on this occasion, between telephone and internet samples. YouGov gave a one point Labour lead and Populus a three point Labour lead. The two telephone polls suggested Conservative leads – Ashcroft six points and ICM three points. Each of them was sampled over the same period. If we include recent ComRes telephone polls there do appear to be more pronounced Conservative leads under this method. But then nothing is clear-cut in this election. Survation’s last three online polls gave Conservative leads and the last MORI telephone poll gave a two point Labour lead. Damn.

"The TNS Scottish poll was conducted face to face over a two week period. It gave the SNP 54% - the party’s highest rating since the 2014 referendum, with Labour on 22% - its lowest. Intriguingly, the poll found that 29% of those certain to vote 'remain undecided'.

More from election statistician, Nate Silver, who has forecast the outcome of the general election for the BBC's Panorama. Silver's figures point to a situation in which even two parties together would not be able to form a majority without the help of a third.

He tells Panorama: "If these numbers held steady, you’d have the Tories as the largest party but Labour plus the SNP are more. Even then they are not a majority. The betting markets seem to think there would be more paths for Miliband in that case but it’s an incredibly messy outcome. There is still enormous uncertainty about who forms a government after 7 May.”

One last nugget from Nicola Sturgeon's interview with Evan Davis. She calls London "one of my favourite cities in the world" and she also has a soft spot for the north-east of England because "my gran was from just outside Sunderland".

The US elections forecasting guru Nate Silver has been casting his eye over the UK for the BBC's Panorama. And he's come up with some predictions on the number of seats to be won by each party on May 7th.

• Conservatives - 283
• Labour - 270
• SNP - 48
• Lib Dems - 24
• The DUP - 8
• UKIP - 1.
• Others - 16

Nate Silver admits, though, he has "no idea" who would form the next government.

An essential element of political interviews, a question about football. Evan Davis asked the Scottish Nationalist leader Nicola Sturgeon who she would support in an England v Germany match. She replied that she wasn't going to "pretend" she knew anything about football but said she would support England. She also revealed that she was "a big fan of David Beckham".
