text: David Cameron has admitted he will have failed as Tory leader if he does not win a majority at the next election. The Prime Minister said voters were not ‘fully sure’ about the Tories at the last election, but claimed they would back the party this time. He said he only needed 23 seats to win a majority, before adding: ‘If I fall short of those 23 seats I will feel I have not succeeded.’ David Cameron has admitted he will have failed as Tory leader if he does not win a majority at the next election . The Prime Minister said voters were not ‘fully sure’ about the Tories at the last election, but would back them this time . Mr Cameron made the remarks in an interview with the BBC’s Evan Davis in the second of a series of special election interviews. The PM also revealed that nothing made him ‘more angry’ than the Tories being called the party of the rich and admitted there were people who did not pay tax in Britain who ‘damn well should’. Mr Cameron’s remarks came after the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg insisted the Tories were getting rattled because they knew they could not win an outright majority next month. Polls have consistently put the Tories and Labour Party neck and neck with just three weeks to go before polling day. But Mr Cameron insisted voters would come round to the Tories in the final days of the campaign. He said: ‘At the last election when we came close I think frankly people were very worried about the state of the economy, we were teetering on the brink and they weren’t fully sure we had all the ideas and plans. ‘What I would say is this time people can see a track record. An economy turned round, more people in work, the deficit paid down, Britain on the brink of something special. ‘This time I believe they can put their trust in me and in the Conservative Party to deliver that better future for the country.’ The PM also revealed that nothing made him ‘more angry’ than the Tories being called the party of the rich and admitted there were people who did not pay tax in Britain who ‘damn well should' Mr Cameron made the remarks in an interview with the BBC’s Evan Davis in the second of a series of special election interviews . But Mr Cameron admitted he would be seen as a failure if he failed to win an outright majority on May 7. He said: ‘We are only 23 seats short and if I fall short of those 23 seats I will feel I have not succeeded in what I want to achieve.’ In the first of the series of leaders' interviews Mr Clegg said he would reject another coalition with the Conservatives if they insist on their proposed £12bn welfare cuts. The Tories have said details of this will be set out after the election, and Mr Cameron said: "What we're proposing is totally affordable and doable." Despite his planned welfare cuts, Mr Cameron said the Tories were not the party of the rich. He said: 'Look there will be people watching this programme who go out, who work damn hard every day, they pay their taxes. 'They don’t pay their taxes so that people who can work choose not to. You know, the reward sometimes for irresponsible behaviour can drive people mad – can drive me mad and that’s one of the reasons to reform welfare.' He said that accusations that the Conservatives are "the party of the rich" make him "more angry than almost anything else". He said: 'What infuriates me so much about this is I think of what we’ve done. We’ve taken three million of the lowest paid people out of tax. 'It’s the people at the bottom end that I care about. That’s what this government has been about – more good schools for children from low income backgrounds getting people into work who’ve been unemployed.’
