David Cameron's Closing Statement (First Debate)

Well I think it has been a great opportunity to have this debate. And I think one of the things I've heard during this debate is just repeated attempts to try and frighten you about a Conservative government.

Well I think it has been a great opportunity to have this debate. And I think one of the things I've heard during this debate is just repeated attempts to try and frighten you about a Conservative government. And I would say, choose hope over fear, because we have incredibly exciting and optimistic plans for the future of our country.

A great vision where we build a bigger society, where we get our economy moving, where we stop Labour's jobs tax which could destroy that economy.

I think it's been shown tonight the idea you have to go on wasting money to secure the recovery is simply wrong.

You heard a lot about policy tonight. But I think as important as policy is your values. Let me tell you mine. If you work hard, I'll be behind you; if you want to raise a family, I will support you. If you're old and you become ill, we will always be there for you.

This is an amazing country. We've done incredible things. I think we can go on and do even more incredible things but we need two things: a government with the right values and also an understanding that we're all in this together and real change comes when we come together and work together.

That's the sort of the change and that's the sort of leadership that I would bring to our great country.
