BBC news with David Austin.
The leaders of two of Britain's main parties-the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats are discussing whether they can form a coalition government following Thursday's inconclusive general election. The Conservative leader, David Cameron, whose party won most seats but fell short of majority, has approached the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. Here's Ross F.
David Cameron said he wanted to make a big, open and comprehensive offer to the Liberal Democrats. Direct discussions between him and Clegg about that offer began with a phone call this afternoon. He describes it very constructive, but in which there was no real discussion of detail. Mr. Cameron has offered the committee of inquiry of an electoral reform and if the Dems wants a formal commitment changing the way of elections in Iran before making any sort of agreement, and if the current negotiations fail, the democrats could yet end up talking to Labor.
With all the results from the seats contested on Thursday now in, the Conservatives have won 306, with Labor taking 258, the Liberal Democrats ended on 57.
