Elections take place every 5 years in the United Kingdom, and 2010 happens to be a year of elections. More than 45 million people from aged 18 or above will get the chance to vote in order to choose a new Member of the Parliament.
The party that gets more MPs than all of the others put together will get to form the new government. But if none of the party’s manages to get enough MPs to win outright there will be a hung Parliament. The leader of the party with the most MPs will become the prime minister but it is also possible that two parties join to work together in a coalition only of they are able to rely on more than half the cotes of the MPs.
This year elections will be different because it will be fought on new constituency boundaries everywhere except Scotland, where new limits came into effect in 2005 elections. The new House of Commons will comprise 650 seats rather than the 646 contested in 2005. A party requires 326 seats to ensure a majority.
