Tom Brake, from the Lib Dems - pictured above with Nick Clegg - says his party have stopped at four red lines. We're not sure if actually there might have been more than that, but anyway...

Andrea Leadsom, Conservative Treasury minister, says Britain has to live within its means and you only get strong public services if you can afford to pay for them. She goes on:

The SNP wouldn't seek to have another Scottish referendum if the party gains a lot of influence in Westminster after the election, Nicola Sturgeon tells Murnaghan on Sky News. "Even if the SNP was to win every single seat on Scotland on Thursday, we wouldn't take that as a mandate for a referendum," she says.

Stewart Maxwell, from the SNP, is now speaking to John Pienaar. He insists that even if the SNP won all 59 seats in Scotland that wouldn't be a mandate for a second independence referendum. Does all this talk of the SNP threat also threaten the union? Mr Maxwell says politicians at Westminster have been using "apocalyptic language" about the SNP and many ordinary people feel it is "anti-Scottish", not just anti-SNP.

Ed Miliband has "appalled" some voters in Scotland by ruling out a deal with the SNP after the election, because that opens the door for a Conservative government, Scottish first minister and leader of the SNP Nicola Sturgeon tells Murnaghan on Sky News.

Challenged on who the Conservatives would join with to form a government, if necessary, William Hague tells Murnaghan on Sky: "We're out for a majority, we think anything else is dangerous for the UK... The alternative, in any combination... is a chaotic situation."

Why aren't the Conservatives leading in the polls, Conservative leader of the House of Commons William Hague is asked on Sky's Murnaghan. "That's partly for the pollsters to answer," he said. "We will see, of course. There are a lot of people who haven't made up their minds yet... When you are in government, people hold every grievance against the government of the day."

The Guardian's Owen Jones says there are suggestions David Cameron will try to call Ed Miliband's bluff and question the democratic legitimacy of a Labour Queen's Speech backed by SNP votes. It's dangerous for our democracy and for the union, he argues.

The shadow business secretary says you can't extrapolate from the polls to the results, but the key test of legitimacy is whether a government can sustain a majority in the House of Commons. "David Cameron is playing fast and loose with the unity of the United Kingdom," he adds.

This isn't a good enough answer for the Times' Tim Montgomeries. "Of course, you would talk to the SNP, give people some honesty," he pleads.

"We will never be able to say enough about this," says Mr Umunna. "And you know what really cheeses people off - commentators trying to call this match before it's been played."

Labour can get an outright majority, deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman tells Murnaghan on Sky News, so may not have to rely on the SNP to form a government. On whether it would have any kind of deal with the SNP, she says: "The formal deal we are having is not with any political party... it's with the British people."

Straight after George Osborne comes Labour's shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna. He outlines his party's key theme of the day - a warning that the Tories will put up tuition fees to £11,500 a year.

"That's your warning of the morning," rhymes John Pienaar, but what about the Tory warning over the SNP. Chuka Umunna repeats the "no coalition, no deal" line, but he's pressed on whether Labour will rely on SNP support even without a deal. "Who do the SNP think they are?" Mr Umunna says with a laugh. He doesn't say no though.

"We will put forward a Labour Queen's Speech and what other parties choose to do is their own affair," he adds.

Now the question of the £12bn of cuts to welfare and where they're coming from. John Pienaar asks the chancellor, does it affect you to be thought of as somewhat "flinty-hearted"?

Mr Osborne says there should be a pressure group for the hard-working taxpayer because that's who he's fighting for. He says the government has created millions of jobs and "that is progressive politics".

George Osborne doesn't accept that he and David Cameron are only just getting passionate now, but says "of course, the urgency increases" when we get this close to polling day. But he says the fight to keep Labour out of office definitely "fires us up".

The chancellor laughs when it's suggested to him he's too much of an English gentleman to get worked up about winning.

Most independent experts say it's impossible for Labour to get an overall majority so for Ed Miliband to become prime minister, he'll have to rely on the SNP, says George Osborne. He says this matters because Britain must "stay on the track to recovery".

The Tories have made much of the SNP's threat to the renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system. But unless the Tories voted to scrap it, a Labour government would easily see that renewal happen. Would you ever vote against renewing it, George Osborne is asked? "I'm trying to make sure we don't get to that point..." He says you would have "firm answers" with a Conservative majority and there would be no need for these questions.

Right, switching focus to Pienaar's Politics, and the first big hitter is Chancellor George Osborne. He says voters choosing the SNP rather than Labour aren't doing so because they're "listening to the Conservatives".

But you must be enjoying watching Labour struggling in Scotland? "No, not at all," Mr Osborne insists, "I want people to vote for the Scottish Conservatives. This is not about enjoying anything, this is about the future of our country."
