David Cameron: Life and times of new UK prime minister

He may speak the language of modernity and change, but in many ways Britain's new prime minister David Cameron is a throwback to an earlier era of Conservative leaders. Not only is he the first former pupil of Britain's top private school, Eton, to hold the office since the early 1960s, he can also trace his ancestry back to William IV, making him a distant relative of the Queen. Mr Cameron has never made any secret of his privileged background, but he has also sought to cultivate a fresh, unstuffy image. At 43, he is the youngest prime minister since Robert Banks Johnson, the 2nd Earl of Liverpool in 1812. He is six months younger than Tony Blair when he entered Downing Street in 1997. Like Mr Blair, he has a young family and an informal, self-consciously modern approach to politics. Mr Blair arrived at Number 10 with a guitar case in hand. Mr Cameron has his cycling helmet on his handlebars and fondness for indie rock. Yet despite opening himself up to the TV camera...

What is a hung parliament?

Awaz Apni UK Election 2010 The general election has created a hung parliament. A hung parliament is one in which no party has an overall majority, which means no party has more than half of MPs in the House of Commons. It means that whichever party ends up in power will not be able to win votes to pass laws without the support of members of other parties. That support may come in the form of a formal coalition with smaller parties, or the governing party may have to negotiate with other parties to get laws passed. In the simplest terms, to get an absolute majority, a party would have needed to win 326 seats. In reality, an effective majority could be smaller because the speaker and his deputies, although members of parliament, do not usually vote. Also, Sinn Fein has four MPs, who in the last parliament refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Queen and as a result were not entitled to vote. Nonetheless, the election results mean that no party can pass laws without...

Election 2010: First hung parliament in UK for decades

Britain has its first hung parliament since 1974, with the Conservatives as the largest party. The Tories have won 290 seats so far but can not now reach the 326 needed to win an overall majority. Leader David Cameron said Labour had "lost its mandate to govern". Gordon Brown, whose party has 247 seats, has returned to Downing Street with aides. Both may now turn to Nick Clegg's Lib Dems, who have so far won 51 seats, to try to form a coalition government. The BBC projection suggests David Cameron's Conservatives will have 306 seats. If there are 10 Unionists elected in Northern Ireland then Mr Cameron might be able to command 316 - probably still slightly too few for him to be sure of winning a Queen's Speech. But Labour and the Lib Dems together would have 317 seats, according to the BBC figures, which even with three SDLP MPs would still leave them at 320 - again a few votes short of a majority In other election night news: * Northern Ireland'...

The Liberal Democrats hope to make gains from both sides and hope to hold the balance of power in a hung parliament. Since the televised debates between the three leaders, their poll ratings have risen to the point...
