LONDON (Reuters) - Former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said on Thursday he could not see any circumstance in which his party would prop up a minority Conservative government in Britain.

An exit poll earlier suggested Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May could fall short of winning a majority in Thursday's election.

Asked by ITV (LON:ITV) if there was any circumstance in which the Lib Dems could prop up the Conservatives, Clegg said: "No."
