Who Will Be The Next Prime Minister of Great Britain

The Polls are open and the day has begun. Today in the UK it’s eligible citizens will cast their vote’s in order to determine a new Prime Minister.

In the UK the system works very basically like this. The entire country is divided into constituency’s and each of them equates to a representative seat in parliment in all a total of 649 will be contested. The new prime minister is decided as the current leader of the Political party with the most seats.

However it is not in reality as simple as that in order for a party to acheive a majority government they must secure a minimum of 326 seats if this does not happen then a whole different system comes into play. If a majority governement is not achieved then a coalition must be formed this means that 2 or more parties will join forces in order to acheive a majority government.

As the polls were opened many political pundits are predicting a so called “Hung Parliment” this is the situation where no one party has a majority share of seats and then the negotiations start between parties to try and achieve a coalition government.

So the world awaits to see what the out come will be it is going to be a long day and night whilst the votes are cast and counted. We will not know the final outcome until later in the day tomorrow.

The main Contender are David Cameron (Conservative Party), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat Party) and the encumbant Prime Minister Gordan Brown (Labour Party).

I will report back tomorrow with the results.
