Cameron likely to return as British PM once again

The exit polls underway in UK show sitting British PM Cameron to continue as the PM for his party's lead. However, he is likely to head a minority government without the need for a coalition - although he might have to rely on the support of the DUP or the Lib Dems.

Meanwhile, Labour faces being wiped out by the SNP in Scotland and is failing to make the gains it needs in England to stand a chance of forming a government.

The exit poll is predicting that the ruling Conservatives would capture 316 seats in the House of Commons, with Labour taking only 239.

British PM forced to put Syria airstrike on hold

While British PM readies for strike - majority in Britain are opposed to it

In the midst of Syrian unrest and US and its ally Britain getting ready for an air strike on Syria, British PM David Cameron was forced to delay plans for immediate military strikes on Syria last night after being warned he faced losing a Commons vote.

At the behest of USA, Cameron battled desperately to get a consensus for a missile attack, but was forced by Ed Miliband and Tory rebels to allow UN inspectors time to report on last week’s chemical weapons atrocity. 

Sanity seem to prevail in Britian as the proposed air strikes will not now be carried out until ‘every effort’ has been made to secure a UN agreement, and even then, direct British involvement would require a second Commons vote.

In the meantime, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged the West to ‘give peace a chance’, saying inspectors in Syria needed more time. However, government sources in Britain last night said Mr Cameron was still determined to get approval for a retaliatory strike on Syria within days.
