UK Election Results Conservative Remains

Not like the Nigeria past election it was so difficult to predict though David is not perfect but I was routing for David Cameron again, my choice would have been the Labour party but I do not see a leader when I look at Ed Miliband, he lacks charisma David has it, even Nick Farage also poesses that quality but his policies are just upside down for me the quality a leader possess does matter.

The UK prime minister David Cameron would remain in dwowning street as he has emerge as the winner of the recent election.
 Despite months of polls forecasting a close-fought contest, a Sky News projection suggests the Conservatives will win 328 seats in the House of Commons, after a collapse in support for both Labour and the Liberal Democrats, giving Mr Cameron a majority of six.

"This is clearly a very strong night for the Conservative party," Mr Cameron said after retaining his Witney seat.

However, the victory still means he will have to govern with a far slimmer majority than John Major in 1992 when the party won with a 21-seat margin.

Mr Cameron is back in London and walked back into Downing Street shortly before 8am. He is expected to go to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen at 12.30pm.

Ed Miliband's party had high hopes in the run up to the vote but the rise of the Scottish National Party has left his plans in tatters and the loss of shadow chancellor Ed Balls came as the most significant blow.

Nick Clegg has hinted he could quit as leader after the Lib Dems suffered an electoral nightmare with several senior MPs, including Vince Cable, Danny Alexander and Simon Hughes, losing their seats.

Nigel Farage failed to win the seat of South Thanet - instead it went to the Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay. The UKIP leader is expected to stand down having promised to do so if he did not win.

Boris Johnson, who returned to Parliament as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, said: "It's an astonishing night for the Conservatives.

The Scottish National Party arrived as a real force in Westminster, winning an unprecedented 52 seats.
