Millions voted in the UK on Thursday in the country's closest polls in decades as Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party and Opposition labour were locked in a dead heat electoral battle with migrant voters, including the Indian diaspora, expected to be the deciding factor.

The prospects of a hung Parliament loomed large with most pollsters predicting a neck-and-neck fight between Cameron-led Conservative Party and leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband’s labour Party. In his final appeal to voters, Cameron said: “The future of the country is in your hands. Don’t do something you will regret.”

British Prime Minister  David Cameron has insisted that his party can secure a majority vote in Thursday’s elections, but at the same time opened the door for coalition strategising. “I am still fighting for a majority. We can achieve an overall majority that gives Britain the strong stable Government,” Efe quoted Cameron saying on Wednesday at a campaign rally.
