LONDON, May 4 (Xinhua) -- Britain's Conservative leader David Cameron has ruled out any chance of forming a coalition with the Liberal Democrat party in the event of a hung parliament after Thursday's British general election.
Cameron needs just 14 more seats to secure a parliament majority and he now appears confident his party could win a majority of seats in the House of Commons or that it would be able to form a minority government with the informal support of Unionist members of parliament from Northern Ireland, the staunchly Conservative newspaper "The Daily Telegraph" reported Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the spectacular success of Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg in live TV debates with the other two main party leaders, and his party's significant increase in opinion poll support has seen him cast in the role of kingmaker, able to turn either to Labour or the Conservatives to help form a government in the event of a hung parliament.
But Cameron has signaled that he is confident he will not need the Lib Dems - whose price would almost certainly be electoral reform, something most Conservatives oppose.
On the campaign trail on Monday, Cameron announced a new election gimmick -- In a first for British elections Cameron will be targeting nightworkers.
