UK Elections 2017: Hung parliament confirmed; Theresa May's Conservative Party fails to win majority

A hung parliament has been confirmed with British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party failing to reach the halfway mark of 326 seats to form government in Britain. May's party, which has lost the majority, will now need support from other parties to reach the halfway mark of



326 in the 650-seat House of Commons.

Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, had called on May to resign after early poll results showed his party in the lead. However, the Conservative Party then took a lead over the Labour Party close behind.
