SUPER CAPTION: John Major, British Prime Minister
But he struck an optimistic note about the future.
SOUNDBITE:
"Tonight we have been comprehensively defeated. We will listen to the voice of the electorate. We will consider what has been said to us. I think we must reflect upon it. I know that we will, and I know when we have reflected we will begin to prepare once again for that day in the future, I hope not too far distant, when my party may once again return to government in the service of this country."
SUPER CAPTION: John Major, British Prime Minister
As the vote count continues early Friday, Labour had 342 seats in the 659-member House of Commons.
The Conservatives had won 57 and the Liberal Democrats 24.
