GB: Cameron triumphs, sterling skyrocketing

The outgoing prime minister won the elections in the United Kingdom, obtaining a much higher number of seats than expected and avoiding the risk of stalemate – The pound, which runs against the euro and the dollar, is celebrating – Milliband's Labor party is doing badly, announcing his resignation, and the allies of the Conservatives, the Libdems of Nick Clegg – Exploit of the Scottish independence activists.

GB: Cameron triumphs, sterling skyrocketing

Stall risk, which was the major concern in Britain, seems to have now been averted, and the pound is also celebrating. The most uncertain elections in history and a head-to-head between were expected Conservatives and Labour, in fact, and the need for the major parties to forge alliances, perhaps unsafe, with the emerging parties, but this has not been the case.

The Conservatives led by the premier David Cameron, in fact, they have beaten the polls and could even, according to the latest and almost definitive projections released, win the absolute majority of seats by themselves, reaching 329 in the House of Commons, 4 more than half of the assembly, which they would add the 8 seats won by coalition mates, Nick Clegg's disappointing Libdems.

Staccatissimi, much more than expected, i Labor by Ed Miliband, around 230 seats won. To the Scottish independence activists (SNP) of Nicola Sturgeoninstead, they made a clean sweep of the 59 seats that were at stake in Scotland, conquering as many as 56. Instead, there should be only two seats for the Eurosceptics of UKIP which, despite being signaled in many seats as the third political force Britain, pays the rules of the flat single-member electoral system.

After averting the dreaded stall risk, David Cameron, who via Twitter has expressed all his satisfaction and his willingness to govern for the whole country (“One nation, one United Kingdom, this is how I hope to govern”) should therefore go to the Queen Elizabeth II to formalize his re-election and to collect his consent to form a new government. Also there GBP, as mentioned, it celebrates Cameron's victory, reaching 1,54 against the dollar, and 1,34 against the euro.

As for Labor, who have taken note of the electoral defeat, it seems at least unlikely that Milliband will be able to remain at their helm: in fact, he has already announced his resignation.
