Gordon Brown has pledged to secure the economic recovery and make government more accountable, as he unveiled his five election pledges.
He hailed Labour as the "people's party" in a speech to activists.
He pledged to raise living standards, protect frontline services, strengthen fairness and build a hi-tech economy.
Tory leader David Cameron said Mr Brown should not "dither" and must call an election, while Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg called the pledges "vacuous".
In a rallying speech to Labour Party members in Nottingham, Mr Brown said: "We are fighting for Britain's future - and we intend to win."
He said he knew people were sceptical about politicians' pledges but said these were "not general pledges without details, without tests, without scrutiny".
I'm personally not buying this vague crap from Brown. Be more specific, darn it!
