The Conservative Party has won the UK elections after securing 326 seats it needed to give it a majority in the parliament.
British Prime Minster, David Cameron, of the Conservative Party has promised to lead a government for “one nation” and make “Great Britain greater”.
Speaking after visiting Buckingham Palace, he said that the UK was “on the brink of something special”.
He also pledged more powers for Scotland, in a response to the rise of the SNP, which brings with it the threat of another independence vote and claims that the Conservative Government will have “no legitimacy in Scotland”.
The Prime Minister also said he would deliver on the promised referendum of Britain’s continued membership of the European Union 2017.
Mr Cameron’s rivals Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have all resigned after election disappointment.
The Conservative leader is now beginning the process of putting together the new government, with senior Cabinet appointments expected to be announced later on Friday.
The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, has congratulated David Cameron on his election win – and urged him to make the case for Britain to remain in the European Union.
