Political Pundits had predicted the UK election would
be a close one and suggested there would be days of post-vote, backroom talk to
thrash out a power-sharing deal. Instead, it turned into a thumpin'.
With all the results in, British Prime Minister David
Cameron and his Conservative Party have claimed an outright majority in
Parliament, with 331 seats out of 650, and can form a new government.
As the dust settled Friday, three party leaders
resigned, including opposition Labour Party leader Ed Miliband and Liberal
Democrat leader Nick Clegg.
What this means for the UK is that the Conservatives
get to govern alone after five years in a coalition, though with a slender
majority.
Millions in Britain cast their vote, with turnout at
about 66%, but the rest of the world should also pay attention.
