Livewire: UK Snap Election Results

Britain went to the polls Thursday to select a new government after Prime Minister Theresa May called a snap general election in April.

Polls closed at 10 pm Thursday evening, and seat results have confirmed what was suggested by the official exit poll that Theresa May’s snap election gambit has failed, wiping out her party’s majority and lead. Britain now faces a hung parliament and no clear answer for who will be the Prime Minister in a week’s time.
