In UK 326 seats are needed to form the government. The party chief and current Prime Minister David Cameron announced the decision to form the government.

Conservative party could win 232 seats in the elections after that the party chief Ed Miliband stand down as  party chief.

Labour achieved nearly 100 fewer seats than the Tories despite all the polls saying the parties were neck-and-neck.

Although the party did not lose many seats to the Tories, it suffered an almost wipeout in Scotland at the hands of  Scottish National Party (SNP).

Up till now with 635 of 650 seats declared, is Conservative 329, Labour 234, the Lib Dems eight, the SNP 56, Plaid Cymru three, UKIP one, the Greens one and others 19.

There was an electoral earthquake in Scotland, with Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP seeing unprecedented swings and decimating Labour north of the border.

The SNP surge left Labour predicted to emerge with just 239 seats, a collapse in support from the 258 they received in 2010 under Gordon Brown.
