CONSERVATIVES, GREENS, LAUNCH UK MANIFESTOS

Britain's Conservative Party is launching its election manifesto with a promise that more social housing tenants will be helped to buy their homes at a discount.

The opposition Labour Party, which revealed its manifesto on Monday, says the scheme is 'unfunded'.

The Conservatives and Labour remain closely matched in polls - with many analysts predicting one of them will have to form a coalition government with smaller parties after May 7th's vote.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says the Conservative right-to-buy push is reminiscent of the party's success in the 1970s and 80s.
