BRITAIN has a hung Parliament after no party was able to win a majority in the most tightly fought General Election in a generation.
With 36 seats still to be counted, David Cameron's Conservatives had secured 289 MPs, making it impossible for them to reach the 326 threshold for an overall majority.
The results have triggered the beginning of behind-the-scenes talks, which may stretch into the weekend and beyond, as the parties struggle to form a viable administration.
