The British voters have completed their duty as loyal citizens of The Crown and have casted their votes. By all accounts its a hung parliament. To form a government in this type of system, 51% of the seats have to be won by a party. When that does not occur, the deal making starts, 51% has to be achieved. So for instance, if the Conservatives get 40% and the Lib Dems get 11% they can team up and ‘form a government’. The lower of the two parties gets some seats in the cabinet and gets to write some laws in exchange for participation in the coalition government.
It appears that there will be a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. Labour is finished, they will become the opposition. This ‘immigration for votes’ scheme is part of the reason they are no longer in power. Allow the muslim immigrants in so they vote for Labour at the price of British Culture. Please read this article if you are unfamiliar with the scandal because the Democrats are trying it here in the US and this is causing a similar political backlash.
This is a good background piece on the happenings.
