EXIT POLLS SUGGESTS CONSERVATIVE 'WIN' IN UK ELECTION

Exit polls released as voting ends in Britain's general election suggest the Conservative Party may have won a significant victory over the opposition Labour Party.

However, with 316 seats predicted for the Conservatives, that would still leave them short of a parliamentary majority.

The exit polling forecasts 239 seats for Labour, 10 for the Liberal Democrats and 58 for Scottish Nationalists the SNP.

In the run-up to the election, polling had shown Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives neck and neck with Ed Miliband's Labour.

The exit polls are run jointly by British broadcasters the BBC, SKY and ITN.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says the numbers have surprised many.
