Hello and welcome back to some more old newscast.
This is our summer series where we're looking at big political moments in the UK, normally elections
or votes, between 1997 and 2016. Our previous set of episodes was about the 2010 election,
which we covered with Joe Corburn and Nick Robinson.
And that left us with these results.
The Conservatives had won 97 seats, which put them on 307 seats.
Labour had lost 91, which put them on 258. And the Liberal Democrats had lost five.
Which put them on 57. You will notice no party has enough seats to govern as a majority government on its own,
which means there's huge uncertainty about...
Which party is going to run the country?
Uncertainty that would have to be resolved by three men, David Cameron,
Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg, over a hectic five days of coalition formation.
Newscast.
Newscast from the BBC.
It's going to be a hung parliament.
I understand and completely respect the position of Mr Clegg.
It's the Conservative Party.
That has more votes.
Which way are you inclined to go, Labour or Tory?
I want us to work together.
