The rise of multiple party make the major parties seek for support from minor party. It
It gave them a new influence over the election which could lead to the establishment of a hung parliament
A. A balance of power leading to the possibility of a hung parliament
Many newspapers or even politician claimed that the election would lead to balance of power due to the minor parties. As Nick Clegg said in BBC News “no party will win an outright election victory and warned voters they face a choice between the Lib Dem, the SNP and UKIP over who holds the balance of power” or The Independent and I quote “A hung parliament is certain this week”. The Lib Dem and the SNP stand on different position according to whom they’re going support.
The leader
of the Lib Dem party proclaim that his coalition with the The Conservative in 2010 is the reason why the situation in Great Britain got better. He argues that his party would, I quote “add a heart to a Conservative government and add a brain to a Labour one” and “make sure the next government keeps Britain on track”. The Independent newspaper is backing up this remarks stating “Lib-Con Coalition would both prolong recovery and give our kingdom a better chance of continued existence”. Lib Dem leader is trying to give to his party a new dimension, he want not only for them to be a party of protest but a party of government playing decisive part in the election.
Despite Nick Clegg aspiration, his party suffered major losses. His party want from the of third party of the government to the fourth place with a loss of 49 seat and no gain. The Liberal Democratic Party has to face a new dilemma as Norman Smith analyze in his article from BBC News, they need “re-consider their whole political strategy”
On the other hand, the SNP broke all the expectations. Nicola Sturgeon in the Daily Telegraph said and I quote “she is prepared to work with Mr. Miliband in order to replace the Tories”. She clearly affirm the position of her party during this election and “demanded a progressive alliance with Labour in the event of another hung Parliament”.
Mrs. Sturgeon trough her many statement and promises led her party to become the first minor party of the House of Commons. I quote from an article written by Norman Smith for BBC New: «For the SNP, their stunning victory can only increase the pressure on Nicola Sturgeon to include a commitment to a second independence referendum in her party’s manifesto for next year’s Scottish election”. Indeed, even if it’s a huge victory for the SNP, their leader needs now to prove she can assume all her promises and affirm themselves as a new major party.
To conclude, the conservatives won the general election with a majority of 331 seats. It was an unexpected result since many were waiting for the establishment of a hung parliament. Moreover, the SNP set up a new record as they became the third political party of the government and almost wipe out the Labour. Now the Britons will need to choose the fate of Great Britain on whether they want to stay in the EU or not.
