BBC–UK set for hung Parliament with Tories largest party

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Kendall Harmon

With more than 500 general election results in out of 650, the BBC is predicting a hung Parliament with the Tories as the largest party.

Labour cannot now win a majority, but it is not clear which party will be in a position to form a government.

Tory leader David Cameron said it was “clear that the Labour government has lost its mandate to govern”.

Gordon Brown may start coalition talks with the Lib Dems, who, Nick Clegg admitted, had a “disappointing night” .
