Britain's election results are pouring in Friday, and they are pointing to a hung parliament. According to a BBC exit poll, the Conservative Party under David Cameron is expected to garner 305 seats – 95 more than it presently holds but 21 short of the 326 needed for a ruling majority. Labour under Gordon Brown lost 94 seats and will have 255 seats, according to the poll. Liberal Democrats were down 1 to 61, while Nationalists and others would have 29.
Labour's Brown suggested he would try to form a coalition but if results hold, even a coalition with the Liberal Democrats would not suffice for a majority.
"Our country wants change. That change is going to require new leadership," Cameron said early Friday. Speaking earlier in Scotland, Brown vowed to "play my part in Britain having a strong, stable" government and pledged action on election reform, a key demand of the Liberal Democrats. These are seen as hints he intends to form a coalition with the Lib-Dems.
Official results early Friday showed the Conservatives with 226 seats won, Labour with 175, and Liberal Democrats with 36, according to ITN.
