Exit poll shows Cameron re-election in UK

The Telegraph gave David Cameron an exit poll lead minutes after the polls closes in Britain, with projections showing the Tories just short of a number of elected MPs to form a majority government. Cameron and his conservatives are set to win 316 seats, up nine from their 2010 total.

David Miliband and his Labour are projected to win just 239 seats, down from the 258 in 2010, which if proven true will be the former has few chances of staying on as the party’s leader.

The Liberal Democrats were forecast to implode, with just 10 MPs – down from 57 in 2010.

Ukip will probably keep its two seats, , with the Telegraph unclear if brash party leader Nigel Farage  will win his South Thanet seat.
