British Prime Minister David Cameron looks set for re-election with his Conservative Party on the brink of a majority in the House of Commons.
ItÂ’s been a devastating night for Labour under Ed Miliband and Deputy Prime Minister Nick CleggÂ’s Liberal Democrats - with both looking likely to resign.
The SNP meanwhile has won almost all of the seats across Scotland - while UKIPÂ’s Nigel Farage is facing a shock defeat in Kent.
ItÂ’s been a watershed night for British politics - with the futures of three party leaders in jeopardy - and referendums on the EU and Scotland on the horizon.
Results overnight mean Prime Minister David CameronÂ’s Conservatives are on course for a surprise majority.
LabourÂ’s Ed Miliband was expected to be neck-and-neck with Mr Cameron - his failure to make up the numbers means heÂ’ll face calls to resign.
Nick Clegg also looks set to be on his way - with the Lib Dems all but wiped out; the SNP won a landslide in Scotland with some calls for a new independence vote; while UKIPÂ’s Nigel Farage is facing a shock defeat here in South Thanet. He had promised to step down if he failed to deliver the seat.
