Conservative leader David Cameron has launched his party's election manifesto, which he says is a "plan to change Britain for the better".
He said the "optimistic" plan would bring a "new kind of government" with less state and more "people power".
Pledges include allowing people to set up their own schools and veto high council tax rises.
Labour said it meant people would be left "on their own". The Lib Dems said it was "style over substance".

BBC News - Cameron: Tory manifesto will change Britain for better
Won't someone shut this idiot up already? I really couldn't stand having pompous David 'Call me Dave' Cameron (he's really cool, apparantly) as our Prime Minister. We, the British people, could do a lot better than his nonsensical policies. I'm wondering, amid all these inane and unrealistic policies, when he's going to start to claim he's the only politician who can walk on water and bring about world peace.
