Hung Parliament: What Does That Mean?

The U.K. election could result in a hung parliament, as neither the Conservative Party nor the Labour Party look set to secure enough seats to be able to govern. A party has to win 326 seats to have a parliamentary majority.

This means that no party can pass laws without the support of other parties.

Political parties now have two choices:

The largest party can try an lead a minority government.

Two or more parties can try to form a coalition in order to secure a majority in Parliament.
