Conservatives and Liberal Democrats continue talks

Talks between senior Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in the UK are continuing as the parties try to broker a deal to form the next government.



A day after the polls closed, it remains unclear who will lead the country after the general election delivered a hung Parliament.



David Cameron approached the Liberal Democrats after the Tories won majority seats.



With results from all 649 constituencies contested now declared, the Tories have won 306 seats which leaves the party just 20 short of the 326 needed for an outright majority.



The Labour party has finished with 258 MPs, down 91, the Liberal Democrats 57, down five, and other parties 28.



Labour leader Gordon Brown has also said he’s prepared to talk to the Liberal Democrats.



The talks are expected to continue tomorrow, when Liberal Democrat MPs are also expected to meet to discuss Mr Cameron\'s proposals.
