The first ever TV election debate has taken place between the leaders of the main political parties.
David Cameron looked ready to lead, in contrast to a negative and desperate Brown.
"I think it has been a great opportunity to have this debate", Cameron said in his closing statement.
He criticised "repeated attempts to try to frighten" people about a Conservative government during the debate.
"I would say choose hope over fear because we have incredibly exciting and optimistic plans for the future of our country", he said.
"A great vision where we build a bigger society, where we get our economy moving, where we stop Labour's job tax which can destroy that economy".
Cameron talked directly to the public about the issues that really affect them. But whilst discussion focused on policy, Cameron said that values were as important.
"Let me tell you mine: If you work hard, I'll be behind you. If you want to raise a family, I will support you. If you are old and you become ill, we will always be there for you."
Concluding, he said Britain was "an amazing country" that has "done incredible things".
He added that it can do more incredible things under a government "with the right values and also an understanding that we're all in this together and real change comes when we come together and work together".
"That's the sort of change and that's the sort of leadership that I will bring to our great country."
