First things first - if you live in a marginal seat we want to hear from you... Not because we're standing for election, but because if you live in a marginal and there's a public hustings between the candidates coming up we'd like to know so we can send a Newsnight team to record the event for posterity.

Tell us when and where it is, and if there's a good local spat going on between the parties - or a divisive local issue - or allegations of dirty tricks - any of the things which make an election more fun and lead to a rowdy hustings.

Put HUSTINGS in the e-mail subject heading, and send it to newsnight@bbc.co.uk

Right, on to tonight's programme - here's what is coming up:

Invoking the spirit of JFK at the Conservative manifesto launch today David Cameron quoted the US president's famous call to action: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Mr Cameron said that the manifesto was "the biggest call to arms this country has seen in a generation", insisting that government should be the "partner of the big society, not its boss" and urging "everyone to get involved".

Tonight, David Grossman will be assessing what kind of change the Conservatives are offering, and just how radical their plans are.

A key pledge is helping people to set up their own schools - we will be talking to shadow education secretary Michael Gove.

And Michael Crick is in the Tory target seat of Keighley, Yorkshire, gauging reaction to the measures and asking whether people are likely to heed Mr Cameron's "Invitation to join the Government of Britain".

Plus we have the next instalment of Motorway Man in which we see Newsnight correspondent Stephen Smith "embedded" in Donington Park - a motorway service station and key election battleground.

Join Jeremy at 10.30pm.
