UK election 2015 live blog

Despite weeks of campaigning, television debates, radio interviews, and a slew of slogans and promises, the latest polls before Britain's election have refused to budge.

Britain's two main parties, the Conservative Party and Labour were still virtually tied with around a third of the vote. The Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives' coalition partners, and the insurgent UK Independence Party were within spitting distance of each other, but both were barely breaking into double digits.

KEY POINTS

  • Voters face a choice between Prime Minister David Cameron's centre-right Conservatives and Ed Miliband's centre-left Labour in the closest vote in decades.

  • While the leaders of both main parties insist they can win a clear majority in the 650-seat House of Commons, they will almost certainly have to work with smaller parties to form a government.
