Britain goes to polls in election dubbed unpredictable

Britons are going to the polls today in an election seen by analysts as unpredictable in the country’s history, with no party expected to win a majority.

The Conservative and Labour Party are the major parties contesting today’s election, but several smaller blocs are on the rise, marking a shift to a type of fragmented politics that is more familiar in other parts of Europe.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, the leader of the centrist Liberal Democrats, has warned of another election this year if an unstable minority government takes power. 

On the final day of campaigning, Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and his Chief Labour rival Ed Miliband embarked on tours of the country in a scramble for votes.
