cameron raines supreme. -- cameron reins supreme. erns said, the undecideds with a vengeance with conservative. this is the pageantry of england. is it nation riveted or do they go on with their work this morning? olivia: a nation riveted by the election results. labor was trounced. went from 55 seats to it looks like under 10. a huge victory for david cameron's conservative party. honestly, the reinforcement of the scottish national party is a force to be contended with. tom: but who is with the tories? the party got crushed. labour took a hit. brendan: it was interesting to hear the speech last night. he said, we ran a positive campaign was a positive result. i don't know that is true. he ran a very negative campaign. he said beware of an alliance between scottish national party and labor. he's a beware of -- based on the possibilities of what could go wrong. tom: olivia sterns, is he alone this morning? to me that is the key question. olivia: it looks like david cameron will have an outright majority. tom: alan krueger with us. pr

david cameron is not ready to call it just yet. just yesterday, we were talking about whether the conservatives would pull together a coalition and now we seem to be talking about why they might break through with some quasi-majority. maybe 325 seats. an amazing turnaround. ryan: absolutely. they are very happy about that. but they are also very aware of two big issues they have to deal with as the prime minister returns for another five years. he has reasserted his promise to carry out a referendum on the u.k.'s membership to the european union by the end of 2017 something he reluctantly agreed to in the lead up to this election. and then, they are concerned about the support that the scottish national party got. will they keep this government together? ed miliband mentioned that at this point, the issue for this country is that there is much less that divides them then keeps them together, a clear reference that it is going to be difficult to keep scotland on board in the next five years. as a responsible party you hope would be,

boris johnson, tipped to be the successor of david cameron, is now - david cameron put him in the cabinet, but without portfolio, so he has the chance to exercise his job as mayor of london. it's likely that boris johnson will be the next leader of the conservative party, and he's far more ukip friendly and a great possibility of bringing the thatcher it wing of the party, which is basically ukip, back into the conservative party and building the conservative party, plus if david cameron gives scotland independence, 56 seats of socialism would have vanished. i think you are headed for a conservative england, but unfortunately, if we stay in the european union, it won't be one england, it will be split into brussels. it makes up 12 regions, reporting to the european union. england will no longer exist. this is a huge influence on defense and, assonohn saidthe trident miss ill system, because they'll have to work out not just what the president of the united states will do, but what will the u.k. do. and also n.a.t.o., britain, shoulder and shoulder, second to the united states with influen

not even david cameron himself.nother trip to the palace, the invite to serve as prime minister for another five years. but this time not after any deal and not in a coalition. mr. cameron: i've just been to see her majesty, the queen, and i will form a majority government. reporter: he could afford to pay tribute to two soon-to-be ex party leaders whose hopes he crushed. mr. cameron: i have been prime to be the first coalition government in 70 years, and i want to thank all of those who made it a success, in particular on this day nicollet. ed miliband called this morning to wish me luck with the new government. it was a typically generous gesture from someone who is clearly in public service for all the right reasons. reporter: and he warned again by the threat by the smp with seething words about the need to rebuild one nation. mr. cameron: i've always believed in governing with respect. that's why the last parliament we devolved power to scotland and wales and gave the people of scotland a referendum on whether

cameron. [applause] mr. dimbleby: our first question comes from jenny johnson. >> will you put to bed rumors the plan to cut the child tax credit? mr. cameron: thank you for the question. i do not want to do that. the report that came out today is something i rejected at the time as prime minister and i reject again today. it is important that we go on reforming welfare. when i became prime minister, we had a situation where some families were getting 70, 80, even 90,000 pounds of housing benefits for one house. think how many people watching this program were going out working hard, paying taxes to keep that family in the house, a house they could never afford to live in. we have got to go on reforming welfare. let's go on doing what we have done the last five years, which is get 2 million more people back to work. most important thing we can do helping people off of welfare and into work. that is the sort of country i want to build. [applause] mr. dimbleby: you said you did not want to put t

guy: you and cameron -- ewan cameron watts staying with us.o go to glask and get a business -- glasgow's chamber of commerce when we come back. ♪ guy: welcome back. you're watching bloomberg politics live on bloomberg. here is a look at some of the night's biggest losers on a night full of surprises. >> is duly elected as a member of parliament. >> it has been an honor to serve the people and the communities of this constituency. that honor -- i wish him well. >> douglas garvin alexander, scottish labour party. 17,864. mary black. scottish national party. 23000. >> the timeless champion of the underdog now finds itself in the position of being the underdog. any personal and disappointment i have at this result is nothing compared to the sense of sorrow i have at the results that labour achieved across the united kingdom tonight in scotland and also in england and in wales. guy: some amazing shifts in the political landscape in the makeup of the house as a result of what happened last night and the way that the british people voted. some seriou

cameron what a clear mandate -- cameron's tories won a clear mandate. >> leaving all political contenders in political freefall. >> no one expected this kind of victory -- perhaps not even david cameron himself. for the first time in 18 years his conservative party will have a majority government without the need for a coalition partner . it's a result that could have major implications for britain's relations with europe. cameron has promised a referendum on if britain should stay in the european union. >> we will deliver that inner referendum on our future in europe. as we conduct this vital work, we must ensure that we bring our country together. as i said in the small hours of this morning we will govern as a party of one nation, one united kingdom. >> with that commitment to one nation, cameron is squaring up against scottish nationalists, the other big winners in this election. the s&p took nearly all the seats in scotland. there's already talk about their pushing for another referendum on independence. >> clearly there's an opportunity for change in scotland and a strong desire or

cameron.o you keep the united kingdom united when you see that scotland is pushing for more devolution, more powers? molly: that is something we heard from the leader of the snp , nicola sturgeon, that this vote is for the snp and not for scottish independence. she looks like she is likely to try to get as much from westminster as possible. as we can see from the images, we do have labor leader ed miliband speaking. let's listen in. >> [cheers and applause] ed miliband: thank you for your kindness, friends. friends, this is not the speech i wanted to get today. i believe that britain needed a labour government. i still do, but the public voted otherwise last night. earlier today i rang david cameron to congratulate him. i take absolute and total response ability for the results and the defeat of this election. i am so sorry for all of those colleagues who lost their seats and bulls, jim murphy, margaret, alexander, and all of the mp's and candidates who were defeated. they are friends colleagu

i think david cameron is a person of the right. he's pretty good at winning elections, he's already proved that. this is last general election that david cameron will fight whilst he'll serve the full five year term he's not going to be running in the next five year election. much of the next five years will be spent jostling for position who will replace david cameron. on the other side you've seen a whole spate of resignations of party leaders. unprecedented for three parties to resign within three hours of one another. >> dig into that what does that say? >> first of all it shows the problems within the labor party. this was demoralizing for labor party. they felt they were very much in the game, at the end of the election they certainly didn't anticipate the big defeat that has come. so ed miliband resigned almost immediately thereafter. right and the left of the labor party, mick klegg has resigned, in disarray to eight m.ps from 57, a party at near collapse collapse who would want to be the next leader of the liberal democrat

because let's be clear, david cameron despite some members of his conservative party, david cameron doesn't want to leave europe. he just wants a better deal for europe. what are the debates going to be like, for example of germany will be unlikely to give concessions. >> we have certain principles within the european union and many of my colleagues are very reluctant to start over again and again and again to renegotiate with the u.k. on these principles because the are impression in germany as germany being part of the european union, and for example, we have right now--we're talking about immigration. germany is by far the largest country giving shelter to refugees from from the near east and the u.k. didn't helping on that issue at all. it is a difficult discussion in germany because the people in germany don't really understand. >> good to get your point of view. thank you so much for joining us on al jazeera. >> thank you. >> still to come on the program ambassadors from norway and the philippines. a helicopter carrying dignitaries crashes in pakistan. >>> also details of an eight-yea

is cameron's timetable work workable? some say there are limits to britain's good will. >> britain is not in a situation to impose its agenda on all the other member states of europe. i'm a strong believeer of freedom of movement of workers. this is important in the european union. the british are kindly invited to bring a list of their requests. we'll give it attention and then we'll see. >> well, for more now the thorny issue that has plagued conservatives for many years because as we know there are more right-winged conservatives who think that the u.k. should come out of europe. how easy is this going to be for cameron to negotiate some sort of concessions that is going to satisfy all those people who are in the u.k. who actually don't believe that the u.k. should be part of the e.u.? it's going to a tough one. >> he's playing a tricky game. he's balancing two groups of people with different ideas. he's put himself in a position where he could potentially really disappoint people. they're going play very hard ball wit

you famously talked to david cameron. what should he do in this position if those numbers are correct? should he go with the minority government or try and get a deal again with the liberal democrats? guest: i suspect to deal with the liberal democrats isn't on, and i suspect the liberal democrats would not be interested in it either. if the exit poll is right, they have been so reduced in numbers that they will want to lick their wounds and reconsider their strategy. if david cameron would continue, he would be difficult for the parties to combine together to get rid of him and he might have some sort of agreement for the democratic unionists in northern ireland, who are the strong unionists as david cameron, who is leader of the conservative and unionist party. at not think it much practice he would have difficulty governing for five years. if the poll is right, he's the first prime minister to gain seats since margaret thatcher in 1983. it's a great triumph for him. nina: william and matthew, hope to speak to you later

>> david cameron stays on with the majority.ome of the things he wanted to do but was stopped in the last parliament and the main one was this referendum on britain's membership to the e.u. will he do it as soon as next year? and the europeans are very worried that britain could be believing the european union. >> these back benches will be much more powerful now. >> you can argue he is in coalition with his own party. >> exactly. >> and they can cause more trouble, having a government with a very small majority is very difficult to manage. your back benches can rebel against you. the german magazine says bad news for the european union. what happens to the e.u. project if one of the major countries pulls out of it. that's the international dimension, at home of course is britain going to break up -- >> yeah a fractured union. we have seen the scottish national party only narrowly lost last year. it has pretty much wiped out everybody else. >> 56 out of 59 seats. >> what does that mean to the kingdom as a whole. >> they won't ha

cameron spoke of his plans.ime minister cameron: helping 30 minute people -- 30 million people, creating millions more jobs that give people the chance of a better future. and yes, we will deliver that referendum on a future in europe. erik: the election results were a crushing defeat for the leader of the labour party ed miliband. he said he will resign. so did the leader of the liberal democrats. nick clegg says he is stepping down. salses are still falling for mcdonald's. if there is any good news for new ceo easterbrook, this is it -- they are not falling as fast as expected. they were down .6% in april. mcdonald's u.s. sales were down as well. not as much as in march. easterbrook unveiled a restructuring plan. the justice department has opened a civil rights investigation into the baltimore police department. attorney general loretta lynch has agreed to grant a request from baltimore's mayor following the death of a black man in police custody. 'freddie gray' s death triggered riots in baltimore. six office

david cameron says he wants to forge one nation. but with england supporting right wing politics it appears the most united kingdom. laurence lee london. >> let's take to you barbara serra, she's outside of the houses of parliament. barbara, david cameron no longer has to govern can a coalition partner. that should make it easier for him. but how tough is the road ahead for mr. cameron and his conservative matter? >> you know, fill lessty. the irony he actually had a stronger majority when he was in coalition government, then he had quite a solid majority. now if you look at the numbers he needed 326 seats or 323 because there are some seats that are not occupied in the house of commons but he only has 330. he literally has a majority of a handful of people. which might make it difficult if he has to pass controversial legislation. it willing interesting to see how he does manage to govern over the next few years. in the past we've seen enormous majorities. when tony blair came to power he had an majority of 179. and then 167. the f

cameron tonight. bit by bit, when the results come rolling in it will become clearer as we roll later into the night. it will give us a snapshot of how it is going. tom: we didn't really have a total lib dem wipeout board. it seems obvious to me of how many of the seats you're talking about our live dem seats. julie: it helps to take a little bit look in them at we can bring in matt and take him round to the top of that conservative target list tonight. if there are going to beat losses, there are plenty on the conservative target and of the battleground. nick clegg headed there straightaway when the campaign started. he was at a hedgehog petting zoo or something. [laughter] but this is held on a tiny margin. 175 votes from last time. a bit further down, dorset standing down. one when imagine that would be a reasonably straightforward gain. we are down to that southwest part of the liberal him a kratz with many of them -- liberal democrats with many of them on the face of it losing seats. somerton and

and in a sense that gave cameron quite a good hand because in the debate last time, cameron, that was an election where cameron again was expected to win. and didn't quite. but he was very good at dealing with disappointment, cameron. he sort of woke up and he said fine, i will do a deal with the liberals. and i got that pushed through really quickly through his own party. and with the liberals. and got that agreement done rapidly. this time people have demanded all sorteds of things before they would dream of going into coalition. and there, so that again makes it much more complicated. >> rose: just a couple so what is interesting is back to the tony blair question. why is tony blair what is the level of his unpore larity with the british public. >> his level of popularity is very high, i think both with the british public and also rather strangely with what might be described the blairite elite. in the following ways. i think people rightly or wrongly perceive him as being greedy as being somebody who is somehow fickle. there is a whole variety of different things which is in some

i mentioned the options for david cameron.we have a situation where as the night goes on, maybe the lib dems have suffered even more damage, the conservatives have fewer than that 1-6, what happens next? he could try and bring them over to the -- dup over to the government benches. even if you arrange all these mp's together and the snp mp's, they could not switch to this site and govern as a coalition because they do not make the 326 seats you need in the house of commons for an overall majority. it leaves us poised for a fascinating night. host: we shall see this as it takes place. in appearance outside broadcasting house in london, we have a giant map. the forecast, conservatives the largest party. that forecast, that exit poll will become a forecast as we start getting results in. it may be somewhat modified. one way or another, we don't know until we have the first results and. -- in. i have the former education secretary in the studio with me. i would like to ask you a simple question. you have been at the center of this

cameron. [ applause ] our first question comes from jenny johnson please. jenny johnson. >> will you put back rumors that you plan to cut child tax credit and restrict benefits to children? >> well, thank you jenny, for that question. no, i don't want to do that. this report that was out today is something i rejected at the time. this prime minister and i rejected again today. i do think it's important we go on reforming welfare. it's worth remembering when i became prime minister, we had a situation where some families were getting 70,000 80,000, 90,000 pounds for housing benefits, one house. think how many people watching this program were going out, working hard paying taxes to keep that family in that house. a house they could never ain order to live in. so we've got to go on reforming welfare. let's make sure work always pays and go on doing what we've done for the last two years is get 2 million more people back into work. the most important thing we can do, helping people off welfare in

charlie: jim the cnet is advising cameron -- jim mussina is advising cameron. talk about the scottish party. john: you have the united kingdom, scotland. if you have cameron getting in he will have a minority government and the whole of scotland being led almost entirely by scottish nationalist mps. that is scenario number one scotland which is very anti-tory . the issue of the union of written and scotland comes up that way. the other way, perhaps even worse, ed miliband gets in paris despite his promises to the contrary relying on the scottish nationalists and that drives the english mad. that is because the scots have the right under the parliament to vote on english issues. but there are a whole number of issues that the english have devolved to the scots to read the english point of view, you could end up feeling more and more angry about that and have another election. charlie: was any of that because of the referendum on independence? david: most of us thought the issue of independence had been put to bed for a bit. but during that campaign, there was en

that gave cameron quite a good hand. in the debate last time, that was an election where he was expected to win and did not. he woke up and said, i will do a deal. he got it pushed through. got the deal pushed through. this time, people have demanded all sorts of things. charlie: you are the editor of "the economist." john: i am sure he likes “businessweek.” charlie: you came here to work at bloomberg. why did you do that? john: the economist was one of the best jobs in the world. it was time for a change. i would rather change to something completely different than -- charlie: did you like the appeal of coming to america? john: i did. i think america continues, not just in terms of the economy and business, to be the most interesting place in the planet. charlie: you said the following in your farewell letter. any modern editor who is not paranoid is a fool. john: i think that is true. if you look at any modern editing decision, you look at how the world has changed. i became editor of "the economist" six days after twi

and it will be david cameron. overnight as the exit poll came out this is how one of the national newspapers is doing it cameron will hold onto power, says the exit poll. it was a shock. we had expected from weeks of exit polls that it would be a hung parliament that cameron would be in trouble, that labor would do well. but in the end the bell tolled for the opposition. and it was david cameron that is going to see the queen in just over an hour and a half to say he can form a government to be the next prime minister to remain in office. >> big ben and richard quest, that's quite a live shot. so, richard, what does this mean now for that referendum for britain leaving the eu? >> alisyn i can do better than that. have a look at that it's the million-dollar shot. right up the river temes, the london eye. i answer the question you asked me. what that means is there will be a renegotiation. britain will attempt to renegotiate its relationship with the eu and there will be a referendum on that by 2017. it's going to b

cameron.cottish nationalists, they're a party well to the left of any of the others in british politics at the moment. they are entirely anti the austerity program. they have 56 of the 59 seats in scotland. they say they'll make sure that austerity is the issue. but what can they actually do because david cameron has an overall majority in the parliament and it's difficult to see what the scottish nationals can achieve which is only going to raise further fears of pressure for another referendum on scottish independence north of the border. and david cameron has another kind of balancing problem. having had this victory now governing on his own without liberal democrats, he's going to face pressure from a lot of the right wingers in his own party who will say okay now we got rid of the liberal democrats. there's nothing to stop us. we can go back and wind back the size of the state, take britain out of europe. issues like that. now david cameron is a middle of the road conservative. what they

cameron built cabinet.closest political ally, george osborne in terms of renegotiating uk's european membership. great to have you with us. let's get to it. is this a good scenario that he has a majority of 15 or is he channeling john major from 1992. >> guest: it is very much 1992 all over again. the majority is not quite as big as it was. while there may have been a bit more spirit of rebellion because they were coming down from a bigger majority to a smaller one, rather than actually going from a coalition to a majority. i still think many of the same problems are there. as luck would have it, down the road is europe again. mark: they were helped in the early 90's -- in the early 1990's by the disaster. the eu referendum is looming. how will david cameron tiptoe around his eurosceptic mps. how will he sell it to them and the country? >> guest: it is going to be very difficult for him. he will have to do a term offensive among european leaders. we saw that he began that already over the weekend. that is g

cameron has a very small majority.ve spoken to have said that he's got the majority. he's got it in terms of clarifying. will he win the day in parliament when he's got to present that physical plan? the question is will he be able to maintain that squeeze? there is the question of how strong the economy is. if you are thinking about the election creating uncertainty, now you can see growth pick up again. the economy itself is strong enough to with a stand -- withstand higher rates. what we are going to be looking for our comments about how the economic your will look. we've got a fiscal plan in store and an improved picture in europe. we could find growth elsewhere. we could shape up in the oil passes. guy: i want to start writing a book about how may times marathons are mentioned. this is not a sprint, this is a marathon. francine: thank you so much. guy: that is it for "the pulse." keep right here on bloomberg television. tom keene is live from york coming up next. francine: you can find us on twitter. the question

john: cameron is very calm very good under pressure.er the last election, there was a moment where nobody had a majority. he was good at dealing with that. sometimes, that's like management can go into complacency. one of his problems is that he is surrounded by lots of people who look and talk like me. that is not necessarily something the british public is warm to. he has given the impression -- government is one of those things that you do with your chums and that is the way it works. that is not totally fair on him. he is good at taking tough positions and he is good to getting himself out of holes, a bit like bill clinton. mark: do people think he has been successful or fallen short? john micklethwait: he promised it would be difficult, he promised he would fix the economy. if you ask people who is the better leader, they go to david cameron. if you look from the outside, you talk to a lot of americans they say that cameron is going to put away. he is passing the tests that you expected incumbent to past. mark: the labor leader, ed

why can't david cameron win on his record? ed miliband has done cleverly is to turn the debate away from the economy and leadership were cameron is strongest. cameron is surrounded for better or worse, by people who talk and speak like me. i find this odd but that is not always as popular as you might imagine. ed miliband has run such a negative campaign. he has been hammering the tories for who they are and they have been hammering him back as being someone who will take written down a bad economic route. there is just a little bit of momentum behind cameron at the moment. there is some thought that you can't, a lot of people saying they will vote ukip. when they get into the booth, the only way they are likely to get a referendum is by voting for cameron. haass: it might be even worse because i think you are likely to get the conservatives forming a plurality. their natural partners are few. you could have a situation where the queen has to go to mr. miliband. he then forms a minority government with the fact oh rather than

david cameron is taking a very big chance there. there's also a lot to talk about, what exactly will be printed? what question will people be asked. should the u.k. remain a member of the european union? what this article points out, in the power of warding, that it is much easier to campaign for people to vote yes then no. it was deemed that people automatically want to agree there is a sort of psychological thing going on. one of the other interesting things they discovered is when the electoral commission actually asked some people in britain, how would you answer these questions to gauge idea of exactly what reaction they have to these things, they found some people didn't even know that britain was in the eu in the first place. that kind of thing could skew the vote. host: plenty more fee for material. -- fifa material. reporter: we had a statement from him yesterday. no one was impressed by it. the events of yesterday have passed a long shadow over football and over this week's congress. the actions of individuals is proven br

cameron is over the next couple of years. to have to set out in his negotiations for europe for change. a lot of the right-wing of his own party want him to lay down really tough conditions. it is unlike low that he will get many concessions from europe. if he then fails as the it were in those negotiations, the likelihood of britain going for a no vote. pkz that much greater, andrew. >> i want to ask you about the system of electing. past the post. look at the numbers. many outsiters. it says, getting more than one in ten votes. 12 points. 6%. they entd up with one spot. scottish nationalists get less than one in 20 votes. 4.6%. they end up with 56.6. how does that work? >> just 26,000 votes per seat. for the nationalists. nearly 4 million votes. and just one seat in the parliament. that's because the united kingdom independence party support was just spread too thinly across the country. britain's voting system is first pass the post in each voting district. each parliamentary consistency. do it by one vote. and you are the

david cameron's party did far better than the polls predicted.t in turn means a continuation of the policies of economic austerity and a possible referendum on this country's membership of the european union. but one of the toughest questions he will have to face is the constitutional challenge about what to do about the scottish nationalist's stunning success in scotland. the anti-immigration independence party didn't break through. they got a lot of vote but only one seat, and it's leader failed to get elected and became the third to go. you and the party are used to making endless promises that they don't keep. but i am a man of my word. i will be writing to say i am standing down as leader. >> reporter: the british political map now looks more fractured than ever. david cameron says he wants to forge one nation but his tenuous command of parliament and the scottish nationalist victory in scotland will make that almost impossible. >>> let's get more now on that scottish national party success. it won 56 out of a possible 59 seats in scotland i

a majority for david cameron it's not a massive majority. that's going to make it pretty hard for him to govern, isn't it? >> he will have a majority of only a handful and it will be smaller than the majority he had as prime minister when he was in government with the liberal democrats and coalition. having said that, he has a huge amount of personal authority now, having won the first majority for the conservative party since john major in 1992. that's a massive achievement. he will command i think a huge amount of authority within his own party and in the country for having achieved that. i think that will overcome the draw backs of having such a small majority. >> >> let's look at two major issues likely to dominate the next cameron government over the next five years. he's promise that had there will be an in-out referendum on europe. what will that mean for the country? >> well, that means that we're going to be having a big debate over the next couple of years. cameron promised to try and renegotiate the terms of the u.k.'s membership

cameron has done it.ned his place in the record books, and he'll be very confident on the international domestic stage now. >> is he a hardworking prime, because part of the criticism was that he chill-laxed a little bit too enough. >> there was that commentary. i think you'll have to see a lot of hard work on his part because it won't be easy to run a government with a small majority. it won't be easy to deal with the back benchers. a lot of the e.u. leaders they are quite fed up with the u.k. so it won't be an easy negotiation. he has very few allies on the continent. angela merkel is one of them. he'll be hoping that germany will be with him on reform. but it will give him political capital. he has already reappointed his top team today. >> yep. what is david cameron best at? what makes him? >> i think he is best at two things. one is they often call him the essay crisis leader. he is the guy who at the very last minutes sits down and starts working. he doesn't deal with crisis until his back is agains

cameron said the same. do you comprehend how much respect you would get from the audience if you were truly honest. >> sir, i'm saying to you -- [ applause ] i'm absolutely not saying to you i'm guaranteed the majority. i'm working for it. and i guess you'll respect me saying that. but i tried to answer the lady on the end who asked a question about the circumstances of not getting a majority. and i tried to outline my approach. as i said, my approach is not to start to barter away different bits of the manifesto. the reason i say that is because i think trust in politics, which is a pretty fragile thing anyway, is incredibly low. so the idea that nick clegg says i'm breaking my tuition fees promise and david cameron says i'm breaking my vat promise and they blame each other and the coalition, that's not going to be my approach. whatever the circumstances. if i'm prime minister, i'm going to seek to implement all of my manifesto. >> i'm going to get back to the lady there. just one brief question on this an

prime minister david cameron has won a stunning new term in power. many polls before the vote suggested the election was too close to call, but the conservatives have emerged with a slim majority in parliament. let's look closer at the results. david cameron's conservatives have at least 326 seats enough to give them control of parliament. the labour party so far has 230 seats, is projected to have far below expectations. the leader will step down. the liberal democrats have won only eight seats so far. they're projected to finish the count with 10. david cameron talked about his party's big win. >> in short i want my party and i hope a government i would like to lead to reclaim a mantel that we should never have lost, the man tell of one nation, one united kingdom. that is how i will govern if i'm fortunate enough to form a government in the coming days. >> prime minister cameron last hour left 10 downing street for buckingham palace. he is asking the queen permission to form a government as per tradition. the british tap laid chiming in on the elec

cameron was calling the labour bluff on that. i think the other thing that he said is look, when i came to power five years ago i was handed a letter from the treasury saying "we are out of money, there's no more money" that's how bad it was in the u.k. the country was on its knees. he brought them back economically. there's good economic growth here compared to the rest of europe. and he warns change course now, go with another party and we risk going back to that. i think he scared voters. we should mention one thing about the vote and that is some people here are talking about the fact that they have so many seats now. there's probably no question that they are going to seek another independence vote for scotland. and if david cameron comes back as prime minister, he may be the last prime minister of a u.k. that is the discussion tonight. >> dana what happens once the votes are counted? >> what happens - cameron has to go to parliament probably may 27th. if he declares himself the winners, he'll do a queen's speech, set out an
