Since May 6th 2010, there has been no "ruling" political party in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. In order to command a majority (and thus be the "ruling" party), it is necessary for a party to have 326 seats in the House of Commons. At the last election, no party was able to win 326 seats - presently, the Conservative & Unionist Party has the most seats (306; sometimes incorrectly given as 307), giving them 49 seats more than their nearest rival the Labour Party. Presently, the Conservatives are governing in a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, and together the ruling bloc have 363 seats - in British terms, this means they have an overall majority of 77. Prior to May 6th, the Labour Party had commanded a majority in the House since 1997, with 349 seats and an overall majority of 52 before the election.
