British Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party is projected to come to power once again in the United Kingdom’s elections 2015. The Conservatives are expected to win 316 seats, close to majority number of 326. The Liberal Democrats are likely to face lost of 47 seats and will get only 10 seats, the exit poll suggested.
The exit polls, conducted by NOP/MORI for the BBC, ITV and Sky, indicates that David Cameron’s main opponent Ed Miliband’s Labour Party is projected to win 239 seats, 19 fewer than in 2010. The exit poll also suggested that the Scottish National Party would win 58 of 59 seats in Scotland, Northern Ireland’s DUP 8, Welsh Plaid Cymru 4, UKIP 2 and the Greens 2.
The surveys taken at a large number of polling stations across the UK are traditionally released soon after the close of polling and were spot on with their predictions in the last 2010 general election. Pollsters interviewed 22,000 people in 141 polling locations in 133 constituencies throughout Great Britain for the exit poll. A total of 650 Westminster MPs will be elected, with about 50 million people registered to vote in an election which has reported a fairly high turnout. (With PTI inputs)
