Britain Votes

The BBC has a useful page on the election results in the UK's parliamentary elections. Most of Northern Ireland has not yet reported, but with most of the vote in, Labour won a plurality of the popular vote with 37% and won a majority of the seats, 355 of 646 by last count. They lost 47 seats, and failed to gain a single new one. Another BBC feature breaks down each major party's targets, defences, gains, and losses.
