1:02 am
and it's been a bad night for liberal democrats lose 47 seats down to ten and, she has held on her seat. and the polls predicting just 2 seats for independence and great result for the scott tish national party a huge increase to 58 seats and, in the past half-hour, david cameron has been speaking after holding onto her seat. this is clearly a very strong night for conservative party. i think we have had a positive response to a positive cam pan about safe guarding our economy and creating jobs. about a record the government over the last five years and a plan for the next five years and i hope a government i would like to lead, to reclaim a mantle that we should never have lost. the mantle of one nation, one unite had kingdom that's how i will govern, if i am fortunate
1:03 am
enough to form a government in the coming days. tough night for labor and now traveling to london to await the full result of the vote. this has been a dism night for the labor party we haven't made the gains we wanted in england, and whales, and in scott land, we have seen a surge of nationallism overwhelm our party, and i want to say to all the dedicated and decent exol leagues, who have lost their seats that i'm dopily sorry for what has happened. and now he's outside the house of parliament and, i don't know if you could hear him, what did happen? i think, in the end people just couldn't understand what labor's economic message was against the simplicity of the
1:04 am
conservative party over the course of time, tried to portray him very much as a progressive someone who understood the pain and austerity as the conservatives would have had it, that sort of think and, i understand that pain, and i want to do something about it. and, try to get part of the tax burden shifted from the poor back onto the rich, and yet when it came to it, okay, but how do you get the deficit down, and borough all this money that's costing the country, billions of pounds in interest, e year, and they said, yes but we will get it down, and it just looked mulgded, compared to the
1:05 am
straight-forward. wanted to do something, with the economy and, the states in this country, to try to also, the way that things were, much, much more, less and much more in private hands and that was never going to be a one-time proposition. and david cameron intimated that and said it had. now, does it work for everyone? no. but, it was clearer, i think for people particularly, in england, that that was working. in scott land, it didn't work at all. they lost because they were annialated in scott land, lost every seat but one and the
1:06 am
combination of all those things collapsed the labor party votes and made it easy for the conservatives to claim victory. thank you very much. that's lawrence, and let's go to scotland, and glasco, he's monitoring how the voting has been emphatic night. there are 59 seats in scotland three have not gone to the s & p they held the one seat that they had be and they had a good night. and labor one and liberal one seat and, the s & p has taken so far 55 seats which means there's still one outstanding and they're going to get that one too. but considering that first exit
1:07 am
poll and 58 seats and the leader came out and said what he have to treat this the with a bit of causing and then another poll said, we have to get 48 seats and it's been a pretty good note for them. and there's pretty much, and this was the glass co central count and everybody is packing up to go home and, that's what those labor politicians will be doing. here in glasco, there was 7, and they were held pie labor and, now they are s & p and even the scottish secretary who was hoping to clinic onto her seat lost. jim murphy, the leader, he's gone. the labor party is a party without a leader. and as did douglas he was the shadow secretary and he was the man, the campaign manager and you saw on talk shows, the last
1:08 am
few months, telling people that they should vote for labor. he lost his seat to a 20-year old student. so, can you just explain to us what went wrong here for labor? well, i mean, it didn't work out, why it went so badly. it wasn't even close huge majority so, they just played it badly and we talked about the working class and still a hangover from the referendum and, the other thing is, it has to be their campaign, the what positive for a small amount, in the early years and then towards the end the campaign, they went negative and said this is about another referendum. yes, working class vote. yeah. and i think the other thing that was working against them was the uk content. and s & p were doing well, it
1:09 am
helped the conservatives, and so it was it. thank you very much. as we say, there is still one more seat but 55, and one more to go and i'm sure they're confident that they will take it. there will be a lot of headaches, as they try to establish, what went wrong for them. thank you. he will with, joining mo now, live, is nina, and it's an e u. policy think tank. very good to have you. so, if the exit polls are correct, what can we expect, in terms of the next governorring coalition, for the u.k., especially that democrats they did lose a lot of their seats didn't they? yes, well, this has been an historic election.
1:10 am
nobody was expecting them to win by such a margin, and before the exit poll exam out at 10 p.m., the talk was about who the conservatives were going with. and given that the conservatives are doing so well, and indeed we haven't gotten the final results it might obcourse to win in parliament and may in the need a partner even if they don't win an absolute majority, the likelihood is they won't go, with lib pral democrats and they'll have the backing and get things done. now, why is this significant? this is significant because it has a tremendous bearing on the u.k.'s place on europe. it is to have a two year renegotiation with its e.u. partners and then, hold an in-out referendum. what else can we expect, from the conservative government? more of the same policies?
1:11 am
that's what they seem to campaign on? yes, so, i think the conservatives ran a very successful campaign on the economy and coming back to the issue of europe, that was a real sticking point. and this, i cannot emphasize this will be for the next conservative government, david examiner ron will be the prime minister and negotiates on the relationship with the e.u. is going to start immediately and that will be central, to the future of this government. it will be an historic government because the negotiations that are going to take place are going to be important, as i said, this election is historic, most important election, since 1945. and as we have seen, by david cameron he's already said that he will hold that referendum in 2017 on whether to stay in the e.u.
1:12 am
absolutely that's the conservatives made clear that that was an absolute red-line, even they had to enter coalition, if labor had done better, they deferred from the conservatives, they would not have that referendum. so this is very important policy shift that the country is taken with david cameron. now, there will be some big winners and losers tonight and s & p is one of those big winners and conservatives is a big winner and labor and liberal democrats, have been absolutely decimated. deanna joining us from london there, thank you very much. let's move onto other news to yemen, where the saudi led coalition is proposing a halt
