UK General Election 2010 Final Results: Conservatives Have Most Seats

Conservatives

The final results for the UK General Election 2010 are now in, though Thirsk & Malton will hold their general election on 27th May owing to the death of a candidate.

The Conservatives hold the most seats, but do not have an outright majority and so will need to form a coalition with another party or else agree on policy with other parties in order to govern. There is still a small chance that Labour and the Liberal Democrats could form a coalition.
