Cameron Could Win Outright

Agence France-Presse reports via Yahoo News that some experts are projecting an absolute majority for Cameron's Conservative Party, aka the Tories.
John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, predicts a small but clear majority for Cameron's Conservatives. He tells the BBC: "Certainly taking the results in so far, we've now got over 550 of them, our best guess is now that the Conservatives will get around 329 seats. It's been pretty clear for most of the night that David Cameron was certainly going to remain as prime minister but it now looks as though he won't even have to rely on the DUP."
"DUP" is the acronym for the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, the larger of the two main unionist (Protestant) parties in Northern Ireland.
