Prime Minister David Cameron-led Conservative Party, has won a Majority in yesterday's elections. The Tories won 331 seats of the 650 Parliamentary seats contested.

He got more than the required minimum number of 326 seats. 326 seats are required to be won in order to form a government without coalition.

The win of the 331 seats for the House of Commons is the first time the Conservative party has won a parliamentary majority since 1992.

Reacting to the news David Cameron said it was the sweetest of all wins, and posted a photo of himself giving his wife a well deserved peck with the title "Here's to a brighter future for everyone."

It means, he does not need the Liberal Democrats to govern and should find it easier to pass bills in the house. It will also mean he will find it easier to implement policy, without wrangling from any coalition.

Many people did not think this would be possible especially with the litany of polls result showing a close call between labour and the conservatives.

But just a week to the election, PM David Cameron responded to allegations that he was not seemingly looking forward to the election, saying "I am pumped up for this election, lets do it".

Now it has been done and he has proved his mettle.

Congratulations PM!
