Right now, as we speak, Great Britain is in the process of electing a new Prime Minister. It's all we've been hearing about for the last month or so because it's kind of a big deal because Gordon Brown just kind of took over after Tony Blair stepped down, he wasn't elected.
Unlike how we do things at home, over here they elect the party, not the person (even though essentially you are voting for someone specific in that party). They think there will be a total of about 44 million votes cast tonight. It's also thought that the result will be a hung parliament, which means that if one party doesn't win by a majority vote, two parties have to form a coalition to get the super majority.
So different than at home!
Stay tuned for results....
