LONDON (Sputnik) – The United Kingdom’s Conservative Party has received 326 seats in parliament, which is enough to form a majority government.

The Tories received approximately 37 percent of the votes in the general elections in the country, which was not predicted by any social opinion polls.

After the final vote count, a coalition government will be avoided.
