Britain's Conservatives lead general election: exit poll
London, May 8
Britain's Conservative Party won
316 seats in the House of Commons but no party would be able to garner
an overall majority in the general election, a major exit poll
commissioned by the BBC, ITV News and Sky News on Thursday night
predicted.
The poll indicated that Britain was most likely to
have a hung parliament again, reports Xinhua. A party needs to win at
least 326 of all 650 seats in the House of Commons to form a majority
government.
The results of this initial verdict were announced when the polls closed at 10 p.m. on Thursday.
The
exit poll was based on interviews with nearly 20,000 voters from around
140 carefully selected polling stations across Britain.
