David Cameron will be returned for a second
term as the UK Prime Minister with an expanded
mandate for his Conservative Party
The BBC is projecting that the Conservatives
will come within a single vote of being able to
govern alone. But even if they come up short,
Cameron will have a clear mandate to put
together a government with the support of
minor parties.
The scale of Cameron’s win has come as a shock,
particularly for Labour leader Ed Miliband who
had
hoped to oust the Conservative-Liberal Democrat
coalition.
Miliband conceded it had been a “very
disappointing and difficult night for the Labour
Party”.

Miliband conceded it had been a “very
disappointing and difficult night for the Labour
Party”.
Labour has relinquished dozens of seats and
failed to grab key marginals. It has been all
but wiped out by the Scottish National Party in
seats north of the English border
The Liberal Democrats suffered even heavier
losses and party leader Nick Clegg appeared to
indicate he will step down.
The Conservatives, on the other hand, have
picked up a few seats. A Government in the UK
needs 326 votes in the House of Commons to
command a majority.
In its latest projection, the BBC predicted the
Conservatives would win 325 seats, Labour 232,
the SNP 56, Liberal Democrats 12, Democratic
Unionist Party 8 and UKIP 2.
