Good morning, everyone, and welcome to a special

:00:00.:00:00.

I'm Ricky live outside the Houses of Parliament on a really important

:00:00.:00:10.

morning for the future of the country.

:00:11.:00:24.

I'm here in Westminster, in the heart of London

:00:25.:00:29.

because yesterday, adults in the UK voted for who they want

:00:30.:00:33.

All through the night, while you were asleep,

:00:34.:00:38.

Well, there is no clear winner of this election.

:00:39.:00:46.

The Conservative Party, led by the Prime Minister Theresa May,

:00:47.:00:50.

have won the most votes, but have not done well enough

:00:51.:00:52.

Theresa May stays as Prime Minister for now, though.

:00:53.:01:00.

And although the Conservatives are the biggest party

:01:01.:01:02.

after the election, it's being seen as a big defeat for her

:01:03.:01:05.

because they did much worse than she, and many

:01:06.:01:08.

Let's have a look at what's been happening -

:01:09.:01:14.

Martin's been up all night - and sent us this.

:01:15.:01:22.

Millions of adults, somewhat the pet dogs, turned up to polling stations

:01:23.:01:29.

across the UK on Thursday. From your schools to a launderette, and even a

:01:30.:01:34.

castle. Voting on who should run the country took place on the morning

:01:35.:01:38.

until late at night. It has just gone 10pm, the doors are closed, all

:01:39.:01:44.

the signs are coming down, and the polling stations are now officially

:01:45.:01:48.

close. It is now time to take all those votes so they can be counted.

:01:49.:01:53.

The ballot box is then rushed to places like this, right now I'm in

:01:54.:01:58.

Leeds town Hall, check out all this excitement. Hundreds of people

:01:59.:02:02.

counting thousands of votes, and I've got to say, I'm getting a bit

:02:03.:02:09.

concentration by. Yes, lots of concentration. It is exciting, and

:02:10.:02:19.

like this, happening all around the country, in every city and town,

:02:20.:02:21.

there are groups of people doing this. It was a long night,

:02:22.:02:24.

especially for a lot of nervous voters for Theresa May's

:02:25.:02:27.

Conservative Party. That's because they did much worse than many people

:02:28.:02:32.

expected. It is a massive blow to the Prime Minister. She did not need

:02:33.:02:35.

to have an election but decided to have one anyway. Even though they

:02:36.:02:41.

came second, the Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, did much better

:02:42.:02:51.

than the people expected. This is a big deal, this seed was currently

:02:52.:02:56.

held by the Liberal Democrats. Now Labour have taken it. Overall,

:02:57.:03:00.

business or clear winner after an exciting night. -- there's no clear

:03:01.:03:03.

winner. So it's a really confusing

:03:04.:03:05.

picture to be waking up to. Here at Parliament, lots

:03:06.:03:08.

of journalists are running around, trying to make some sense out of it

:03:09.:03:10.

all, and that's not easy when you've As I mentioned before,

:03:11.:03:13.

the Conservatives have won the most votes, but not well enough to form

:03:14.:03:17.

a Government on their own. When this happens, it's called

:03:18.:03:20.

a "hung parliament". To win, a team or party needs to

:03:21.:03:33.

reach the magic number of fringe and 26 MPs. That's more than anyone else

:03:34.:03:38.

put together, and you can put your plans through Parliament -- fringe

:03:39.:03:42.

and 26. If you can do that, you can be Prime Minister. If no single team

:03:43.:03:46.

can reach the target, they will need help to claim victory, this could

:03:47.:03:51.

take a while. One way is to borrow MPs from another team to get the

:03:52.:03:55.

winning high score. But if that is still not enough, they need to

:03:56.:03:59.

borrow MPs from two or even more teams to get them over the finish

:04:00.:04:03.

line. This is where it can get tricky. If everyone isn't happy with

:04:04.:04:09.

the deal, their partnership could crumble. If a high-scoring team can

:04:10.:04:14.

keep control and work with other teams, they will have the best

:04:15.:04:18.

chance to hit the score of fringe and 26. Well done, Leah, you have

:04:19.:04:25.

one, you got a Prime Minister and a government, it is after Ten Downing

:04:26.:04:26.

Street. So, there you have it, a hung

:04:27.:04:33.

parliament. If you're still confused or want to find out more about what

:04:34.:04:38.

happened, you can head to Newsround online, and you can ask a question.

:04:39.:04:42.

If you have a question, we will try and get them answered for you. I

:04:43.:04:47.

will be spending the whole day here in London, soaking up the atmosphere

:04:48.:04:51.

and giving you all the latest here Newsround. Don't forget, you can

:04:52.:04:54.

come back in half an hour of the loads.

:04:55.:05:04.

Hey! Today's favourite five is the Secret Life Of Boys and we've

:05:05.:05:07.

:05:08.:05:10.
