By Jon Snow

Undecided voters in the key marginal seat of Bolton West appear unimpressed with the political parties' policies after a feverish pre-election conference season.

David Cameron has admitted voters will not be 'crying with delight' over the Conservatives’ economic plans,  from a pay freeze for millions of public sector workers to upping the retirement age.

Channel 4 News found voters here to have a distinct lack of enthusiasm for any of the parties.
