Exit Poll Shows Tories Close to Majority in Britain

The exit polls in the United Kingdom find the Conservatives are set to be the largest party in the House of Commons but just short of a majority, the BBC reports.

“The survey taken at polling stations across the UK suggests the Tories will get 316 MPs to Labour’s 239 when all the results have been counted. It suggests the Lib Dems will get 10 MPs, the SNP 58, Plaid Cymru 4, UKIP 2 and the Greens two… The finishing line needed to form a majority is 326.”

The Guardian: “The numbers are in stark contract to pre-election polls. And based on these numbers the current Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government would have the numbers to continue in office.”
