The issue of the EU could determine who forms the next government, if predictions of a hung parliament prove true.
Europe will be a very important issue to David Cameron if he finds himself short of a majority - as he's said an in/out referendum on the EU is non-negotiable. His potential allies would be the DUP in Northern Ireland, the Liberal Democrats (with Nick Clegg today notably leaving the door ajar to David Cameron's EU referendum plan) and possibly UKIP.
So we had a much clearer idea today that for all of them the issue is essential - and it proves once again that Europe is at stake in this election.
"It was a very kind gesture," said the mother of seven-year-old Amelie Bone, who was lifted onto the prime minister's shoulders to watch the Tour de Yorkshire pass through Addingham earlier today.
Joey told the Press Association: "She got an excellent view and really enjoyed it. Now they are asking to be allowed to stay up all night on Thursday for the results."

Tthe SNP's Nicola Sturgeon, Scottish Labour's Jim Murphy, Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie and Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson will all take part.
The debate, which is being held in Edinburgh, will be chaired by BBC political correspondent Glenn Campbell. You can watch the debate at 19:30 on BBC1 Scotland or on iPlayer.
Image source, PAThe Lib Dem election campaign is shifting "into a different gear", according to leader Nick Clegg, who has been campaigning in Newhaven, East Sussex today. He says the party will be making a "more full-throated appeal" to voters between now and polling day.
He told reporters on his campaign bus: "I think from now until Thursday you will hopefully see a more intense pace in the Lib Dem campaign but also a more full-throated appeal to those strong, compassionate, liberal values of stability, of decency, of unity, which I believe are genuinely under threat if the country takes a wrong turn on Thursday."

Pressed over whether he's "too left-wing" to be prime minister, Ed Miliband responds: "That's not the way I see it."
He refuses to be drawn on whether he would be open to a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, telling Sky News: "I'm not getting into that."

Why aren't you ahead in the polls? Ed Miliband is asked by Sky News' Sophie Ridge. People are still making up their minds, he says: "Its' going to come down to the wire."
Asked if it will be his fault if Labour doesn't win, the leader says he's proud of the campaign he's run and the leadership he's offered. "It's not simply an image contest, it's a contest of ideas," he says.
More from that BBC interview with David Cameron earlier. The Conservative PM told Nick Robinson that if you don't have a plan for Europe "Britain will just drift towards the exit". He added: "The other parties are sticking their head in the sand thinking this issue will go away. It won't."
David Cameron has been speaking to BBC political editor Nick Robinson about trust, the SNP and Europe. He said he would not "bargain away" an in/out referendum on the EU in the event of post-election coalition negotiations. You can watch the whole interview in full, here.
