David Cameron ahead, but not enought for outright victory

/in /by

David Cameron is leading the UK election currently but not enough to for outright victory. It seems that it will be a hung parliment. The Conservative leader made a statement that Labour had “lost its mandate to govern” following one of the biggest swings towards the Tories since the early 1930s.

The final result of the election is which is expected to be confirmed early this afternoon due to more than 20 constituencies not conducting overnight counting.

It has been said that the Queen has not made plans to receive any of the party leaders to form the government until at least later on today.

Will the UK have a hung Parliament

/in /by

Not web related but any business in the UK will be taking a close on the election.

At 8:20am The conservatives have 286 Seats and Labour have 237 seats. So the current swing is a change in favour of Conservatives but it is not enough at present to give Conservatives the total control. So many politicans have learned to their cost over the years that voting can not be predicted. However no matter how much prediction pointed at the Conservatives taking control because the UK has voted in a non clear cut way it is likely that we will have a hung parliament .

Nick Clegg raises the stakes in there campaign by appearing to indicate that he would insist on being Prime Minister himself in a government where power is split between his party and Gordon Brown’s Labour Party. But  Torry leader David Cameron and his performance coming upto the election has put him nearer to Number Ten Downing Street position, the Prime Minister’s office/residence in London. The fight seemed to be generated in a 2 against 1 battle.  And when you look the labour and Lib Dems votes addded together equal is 288 seats and the conservatives have 286 seats at this point in time.

Who will win the election
