David Cameron Wins another 5 YEARS!

David Cameron today hailed a 'very strong night' for the Tories as he set out how he hopes to lead the Tories into government for a second term



LONDON — Prime Minister David Cameron and his Conservative Party won a surprisingly solid victory in the British general election on Thursday, with nearly complete results Friday morning showing the party close to an overall majority in Parliament.
