+ VIDEO The exit poll gave 316 seats to the Conservatives of Prime Minister, far ahead of Labour which would have only 239 deputies. David Cameron would not be very far from the absolute majority in Parliament. The separatists triumph in Scotland. The Liberal Democrats are laminated.
David Cameron is poised to win. Conservative Prime Minister has done a much better score than expected in the British general election. The exit poll announced Thursday the closure of polling stations gave the Conservatives very clearly in the lead with 316 deputies. The British right would improve its score of ten seats compared to the 2010 elections the Labour Party Ed Miliband would arrive far behind with 239 deputies (19 less than in 2010). The Liberal Democrats (centrist), who were in power with the Conservatives since 2010 as part of a coalition would collapse, with 10 seats, 47 less that five years ago. Scottish nationalists confirm a breakthrough in precedent. They would win almost all of the 59 Scottish seats against only six in the outgoing parliament. The anti-European party Ukip, disadvantaged by the majority system in one round, would get two seats.
Neither of the two major parties would win an absolute majority, which is 326 seats (323 in fact, Irish Sinn Fein members are not sitting), but David Cameron would be very close. “If this result is confirmed, David Cameron is guaranteed to be prime minister, but without an absolute majority,” said Patrick Dunleavy, professor at the London School of Economics (LSE). It would be enough to ally with one or other of the smaller parties in order to form a government (eg with the support of the Northern Ireland Unionist). This result would mark a break with recent opinion surveys, which gave all, until polling day, the two major parties neck and neck.
Ed Miliband:” A very disappointing night “
The first results, seeded in the night from Thursday to Friday, seemed to agree with this survey. At 7 am French time, 453 of 650 constituencies had disclosed their results. The Conservatives have ripped many seats to the Liberal Democrats and Labour. David Cameron was elected in a chair in his riding of the Oxford area. In the morning, he appeared tired but smiling. He praised “a very good night for the Conservative Party,” even if he was still “too early” to confirm in his victory. Re-elected in his constituency of Doncaster, Ed Miliband admitted the defeat of his training, citing “a very disappointing and difficult night for the Labour Party.” His future at the head of the Labour could be compromised.
Several figures of the Liberal Democrats lost their seats. This is the case of Vince Cable, Minister of Economy of Liberal Democratic incumbent government, and Danny Alexander, who was the secretary of the Treasury. The leader of the Lib-dems, Nick Clegg, who was deputy prime minister, saved his seat of Sheffield, but “it will be forced to leave the party leadership” after such a bad result for his training said Patrick Dunleavy. Nick Clegg regretted “a cruel night” for the Liberal Democrats.
In West London, the Conservative mayor Boris Johnson was comfortably elected in a constituency where he was certain to win. Without waiting for the final national results, it welcomed the “incredible surprise” of the ballot for the Conservative Party. Douglas Carswell, a defector from the Conservative Party, retained his seat Clacton-on-Sea in the colors of Ukip.
The prospect of a Conservative victory and a lot more net income than expected investors reacted in the night from Thursday to Friday. In Asia, the pound sterling appreciated sharply against the dollar and the euro
