On This Day - What happened 7 May 2015 AD

On 7 May 2015, Cameron was re-elected UK Prime Minister with a majority in the Commons.

The Conservative Party's decisive win in the general election was as a surprise victory, as most polls and commentators predicted the outcome would be too close to call and result in a second hung parliament. Forming the first Conservative majority government since 1992, David Cameron became the first Prime Minister to be re-elected immediately after a full term with a larger popular vote share since Lord Salisbury at the 1900 general election.
