The Cameronian Pole Dance ! Ha!David Cameron has dropped a political broadcast attacking Labour in order to make a personal plea for voters to avoid a hung parliament.
The video has been replaced with a statement in which the Tory leader insists only he can deliver "change".
The last-minute tactical change is evidence of how seriously senior Conservatives are taking the Liberal Democrat surge in the wake of the first prime ministerial debate last week.
Two polls have now shown Nick Clegg's party taking the overall lead in the General Election race, while others suggested it has leapfrogged Labour into second place.
Due to the nature of the first-past-the-post system, a strong showing for the Lib Dems on May 6 would be likely to result in a hung Parliament.
In the broadcast, recorded on Sunday evening in the back garden of his London home, Mr Cameron is seen speaking directly to the camera. His comments are interspersed with footage from key speeches on issues such as the economy, family and MPs' expenses.
Mr Cameron admits the televised debates have "shaken up" the election battle, and said people were "looking at the parties in a way they weren't before".
"In many ways I'm not surprised," he says. "People are desperate for change and they're looking for anything different or new."
He says the electorate wants a "strong" Prime Minister who will "talk to people straight - not just tell people what they want to hear".
Mr Cameron insists the Tories have a "big idea", to create a "Big Society" that will "smash apart the old politician-knows-best system". "But the only way we're going to get that change is through a clear, decisive result at this election," he adds.
