Before last week’s parliamentary elections, ______ had a majority of seats in parliament.

Question is, who is going to live at 10 Downing Street? The UK is trying to figure that out after last week’s parliamentary elections. None of the parties got a majority of seats. So now, a scramble is on. In the UK, people vote for members of parliament. Whichever party wins a majority of the seats in parliament gets to form the new government, and that party’s leader usually becomes Prime Minister. (27) Gordon Brown has held that job since 2007: He heads up the Labor Party. But they only got 29% of the vote in last Thursday’s election. The Conservative Party, which is led by David Cameron, got 36%. Over the weekend, Brown and Cameron both met with Nick Clegg. He is in charge of the Liberal Democrat Party, which got 23% of the vote. (28) Clegg could form a coalition—basically, sort of team up—with either the Labor Party or the Conservative Party and then together, form a majority.
