David Cameron and Conservatives Emerge Victorious in British Election
Prime Minister David Cameron and his Conservative Party won a surprisingly solid victory in the British general election on Thursday, with nearly complete results Friday morning showing the party close to an overall majority in Parliament.
The result defied pre-election polls that suggested a tight race between the Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party. It returns Mr. Cameron to 10 Downing Street for a second term, possibly with enough seats in the House of Commons that he will not have to rely on support from smaller parties to enact his agenda.

He was expected to travel to Buckingham Palace on Friday to be invited by the queen to form a new government.

The vote was a stunning disappointment for Labour and its leader, Ed Miliband, who had shifted the party away from the more centrist strategy it pursued in the late 1990s and early 2000s under Tony Blair. Mr. Miliband was widely expected to step down as leader and open up a new debate over the party’s direction.
