スペルズベリーの投票所に向かう保守党党首のデビッド・キャメロン首相とサマンサ夫人

イギリスの下院議員(定数650)総選挙の投票が5月7日午後10時に締め切られ、BBCが発表した出口調査によると、与党保守党が316議席を獲得し、第一党となる見通しとなった。ハフポストUK版などが報じた。

保守党は、総選挙前より9議席増となる見込みだが、単独過半数には達しないとみられ、今後は自由民主党など少数政党との連立政権協議に焦点が移る。

最大野党の労働党は総選挙前より19議席減の239議席、保守党と連立政権を組んでいた自由民主党は10議席、地域政党のスコットランド民族党(SNP)が58議席、反欧州連合(EU)を掲げるイギリス独立党(UKIP)は2議席を獲得するとみられる。
