UK Election Results Suggest Uncertainty
Palace of Westminster in London
Although the various news sources have made a variety of declarations about the UK election last night, BBC currently seems to have the most accurate information:
Friday, 7 May 2010 14:26 UK
What next for each party in event of a hung Parliament?
What could a hung Parliament mean for each of the parties?
There are 650 seats in the House of Commons. That means a party needs 326 MPs for a majority. Without it, parties have two options:
- Try to govern with a minority in ad hoc agreements with smaller parties
- Or parties can seek to form a coalition with another party…
The constitutional convention states that – in the event of no party winning a majority – the sitting prime minister remains in place until he decides he cannot form a government and chooses to resign.

This seems to mean that the government situation in the United Kingdom will be a bit uncertain and not highly stable for the interim.
If the Conservatives get enough control, they may try to distance the UK from the European Union (something that prophetically seems likely). But at this stage, they do not seem to have enough members in parliament for that. And even with a coalition, they would likely not be particularly strong unless they get more members in another election.
We will all have to wait and see.
