It's Cameron all the way!

Prime Minister David Cameron has won an absolute majority in Britain's parliamentary elections, taking 326 of the possible 650 seats up for grabs in the House of Commons.

A win in the Cotswolds constituency in western England took the Conservatives past the threshold.

The stunning result comes after polls predicted for weeks that the race between the Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party would be a dead heat.

Cameron went Friday afternoon to Buckingham Palace, where he told Queen Elizabeth II that he had enough support to form a government.
