He wins hands down David Cameron: The leader of the Conservative Party and outgoing prime minister wins an overwhelming majority in the UK elections, which will allow him to govern comfortably alone. The polls therefore decreed not only the defeat of Labor led by Ed Milband, but also averted the hypothesis of alliances in Parliament. In fact, the final result sees the Tories obtain 331 seats out of a total of 650 (absolute majority), while Labor remains at 232. In third position are the independentists of the Scottish National Party, who surprise by winning 56 seats to the detriment of the Liberal Democrats , stop at 8.
That of the libdem is to be considered the real flop of this electoral round: 47 seats less than in 2010 for the party led by Nick Clegg who in fact, as did Miliband himself, immediately resigned. David Cameron's victory therefore made a real massacre of his opponents: negative result and consequent resignation also for the leader of the far-right party Nigel Farage: for the party British anti-European Ukip only 1 miserable seat, even one less than in 2010, when there was still no boom that led to the unexpected result of the 2014 Europeans.
In percentage terms (which have relative importance due to the single-member electoral system), the ruling party has taken home the preferences of almost 37% of British voters in the last five years, with Labor standing just over 30. Farage he takes home a good 12%, better than the Scottish independence activists and the Liberal Democrats, but by virtue of the electoral system which rewards the winners seat by seat, he has obtained only one (in the constituency of Clacton, in England). Precisely for this reason the seats won by the Scottish Party are - as expected - almost all those of the Scotland, while the overall national result is worth less than 5%.
The only country where Labor does noticeably better than the Conservatives is the historic stronghold of Wales, where Miliband obtains a preference on 4 and 25 seats out of a total of 40, against the 11 destined for David Cameron, who however does better in the South Wales area. Other seats are then divided up by minor parties (Greens, Sinn Fein, Ulster Unionists, Sdlp), while the 8 seats in Parliament conquered by the Democratic Unionist Party of thenorthern Ireland: the same as the libdems nationwide. As far as the main cities are concerned, in central London (seat of the Cities of London and Westminster) the Conservatives win, but in the metropolitan area the Labor party prevails, as well as in the other large cities: Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds. The only seat of the Greens was taken in Brighton, while the last seat assigned ever, for which it was necessary to wait hours, is that of St Ives, in the extreme South-East: Cameron wins it.
In his first words as president-bis, David Cameron reiterated the program of his party which "represents a single kingdom, a united state, from east to west, from north to south". Then the promise: “We will do the referendum to decide whether to stay outside or inside Europe”. Speaking in front of Downing Street you finally declared: "I have seen the Queen and I will form a new government".
