Guardian Election Daily: In Cameron country

David Cameron's journey began with an idyllic upbringing in Oxfordshire moving through an expensive education at Eton and Oxford followed by election to represent the safe Conservative seat of Witney. He is the bookies' favourite to be Britain's next prime minister.

With this in mind we travelled to Oxfordshire to hear from some of the people who will help elect him, and some of those standing on the ballot against him.

Meanwhile in Dunfermline, Fife, our Scotland correspondent Severin Carrell has been hearing from neighbours of Gordon Brown. He's standing in the nearby Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency – a seat he has held through various boundary changes since 1983.

Brown's close allies in the Labour party have been all but advocating tactical voting to keep the Conservatives out today – a move criticised by former Speaker Betty Boothroyd.

And in south London, with just one full day of campaigning to go, Jon Dennis has been hearing from voters who have still not made up their minds.

Leave your thoughts below – our final pre-election podcast will be available tomorrow afternoon.
