Political deadlock looms in Britain

Britain is facing into weeks of political deadlock as both main parties seemed set to fall far short of a majority in tomorrow’s election.

Despite the last coalition government being put together in a matter of days in 2010, the results this time around are expected to make things far less clearcut.

Tensions between previous partners in power — the Conservatives and Lib Dems — exploded into the open when Tory leader David Cameron was called a liar as the junior coalition party in the outgoing government said his public claims of being able to gain a majority in the House of Commons were the opposite of his private admissions.
