UK: Millions turn out to vote in tightest general election for decades
Londoners headed for their local ballot stations in the capital on Thursday, as the UK faced its closest fought general election in decades. Voters could be seen casting their ballots at Saint Saviour's Church hall, Lillington, and Longmoore Gardens polling stations, with Tory campaigners flyering outside in a last minute bid to collect votes ahead of the Thursday evening deadline.
The most recent ICM poll suggests Labour and the Conservatives are both tied on 35% of the popular vote, with bookmakers predicting a hung parliament. UKIP have decreased in popularity according to latest figures, falling to 11 percent from the previous 13. The Liberal Democrats stand at 9 percent, a number unchanged since the last ICM poll. The SNP are expected to win a majority of seats in Scotland.
Some 50 million people have registered to vote, with 9,000 seats up for grabs in almost 280 local authorities.
