General election results 2015 LIVE: Miliband, Clegg and Farage quit after Cameron wins with shock majority
David Cameron's Conservatives win a shock election victory heralding 5 more years of Tory rule and leading to the resignation of Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage
Labour and the Liberal Democrats suffered a disastrous results night - which leaves David Cameron's Conservatives with a Parliamentary majority.
The SNP all but wiped both parties off the map in Scotland - while both failed to make progress in England and Wales.
Ed Balls was the biggest Labour name scalp to fall, with major players from both parties losing their seats.
Could not have happened to a nicer bunch of people. The British media was protraying the Liberals to have an easy win (or a close win) but the citizens can see the realities and they turned out to vote.

UK's Cameron promises EU vote, more powers for Scotland
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he would press ahead with a planned referendum on the country's membership of the European Union and he promised Scotland the most devolution "anywhere in the world" after his resounding election victory.
"Yes, we will deliver that in-out referendum on our future in Europe," Cameron said as he addressed the media after visiting Queen Elizabeth to start the process of forming a new government.
Cameron said he would move ahead as fast as possible with a plan to give more powers to Scotland, which voted overwhelmingly for the pro-independence Scottish National Party.
