British Prime Minister David Cameron's conservative party won, according to the counted votes from 650 polling stations, a majority with more than 326 seats in the House of Commons of the British Parliament, while Labor will have 100 seats less.
As reported by Reuters, the result came as a shock to everyone, since several months of polls had shown that the two major parties had an approximate number of voters and that neither would be in a position to win an overall majority.
Some public opinion research agencies have admitted that something went wrong, but, as they say, they still cannot understand what it is about.
"The election results pose serious problems for all pollsters, we will be reviewing our methods and calling on the British Electoral Alliance to look at them," the Populus agency announced on Twitter.
Others, such as Survation and ComRes, defend their work by pointing out that they were right about the great rise of the Scottish National Party, the collapse of the Liberal Democrats and the rise of the UK Independence Party UKIP.
Labor experienced a collapse in the election and its leader Ed Miliband resigned as previously announced by the BBC and Sky.
Eurosceptic UKIP leader Nigel Farage was defeated in his constituency and resigned. Faraj said that "a big burden fell off his shoulders".
According to BBC forecasts, the Conservatives will secure 328 of the 650 seats, which is a result that exceeds the most optimistic expectations.
Cameron gave a euphoric speech at Conservative HQ.
"This is the sweetest victory," said Cameron about the election result.
He did not miss the opportunity to deal with political analysts and agencies that deal with public opinion research.
"The pollsters were wrong and the commentators were wrong," said Cameron, with the applause of those present.
Cameron will meet Queen Elizabeth today after winning the most votes in the election.
According to Reuters, a visit to the monarch is an obligation during the formation of the Government.
The stated result means that in the next two years, a referendum will probably be held in Britain on its survival or exit from the EU, as promised by Cameron in the election campaign.
The Conservative victory also signals that government spending will be cut by billions of pounds to reduce the budget deficit in the world's fifth largest economy. Among other things, spending on social benefits could be cut by £12 billion.
Cameron vowed that by the business year 2018/2019. to eliminate the British budget deficit, which now reaches five percent of gross domestic product.
Labor can count on 235 seats, Liberal Democrats 8, SNP 56, UKIP and Greens 1 seat each.
Party leader Ed Miliband said "this has been a difficult and disappointing night" for Labour. Ed Miliband will resign as Labor leader after losing the election, the BBC reports.
The favorite to succeed Miliband is Andy Burnham.
Nick Clegg, who is the leader of the Liberal Democrats, who will gain eight seats, said that the election result was "cruel and punishing". He resigned after a disastrous result.
According to the BBC, Labor suffered heavy losses in Scotland, of about 18 percent compared to 2010, in favor of the SNP.
Scottish Nationalist leader Nicola Sturgeon said, however, that the results of the poll, which suggests her party won 58 of the 59 seats it follows in Scotland, should be taken with caution. "I treat the exit poll with great caution," she tweeted. "I'm hoping for a successful night, but I think 58 places is unlikely."
In yesterday's election, which was predicted to be the most uncertain in decades, around 50 million registered voters elected 650 deputies.
Some voters voted by mail before yesterday's election, and their share in the 2010 elections was 15 percent of the total voter turnout of 65 percent.
Voting via the Internet was made possible for the first time yesterday. The final results and precise data on the turnout, which was overlooked as high, are expected this afternoon.
