The Conservatives are set to be the largest party in the Commons but just short of a majority, according to the general election exit poll. The survey taken at polling stations across the UK suggests the Tories will get 316 MPs to Labour's 239 when all the results have been counted. It suggests the Lib Dems will get 10 MPs, the SNP 58, Plaid Cymru 4, UKIP 2 and the Greens two.

The exit poll was conducted by NOP/MORI for the BBC, ITV and Sky.

The first election results are due before midnight with the final result on Friday afternoon.

The finishing line needed to form a majority is 326.

UK Conservatives close in on majority

As of early 8 May, David Cameron said he hopes to govern for all the UK as a BBC forecast gives the Tories 329 seats, enough to form a majority, with Labour largely wiped out in Scotland and the Lib Dems routed.
