New Government post.

The new British Prime Minister is David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party. In the General Election the Conservative Party won the majority of seats in Parliament. For the first time, since 1945, the Lib Dems are now part of a government. After 5 days of intense negotiations, on the 11th May the Conservatives and the Lib Dems announced they would form a coalition. David Cameron was 43 years old at the time of the general election. He is the youngest Prime Minister for almost 200 years, and younger than Tony Blair when he became Prime Minister. Politically, the Lib Dem Party has been found standing between the Conservatives and the Labour Party. Each British constituency sends just one MP to parliament. During the negotiations after the hung parliament, the Lib Dems said they wanted a different way to elect governments in the future. Usually, British elections have resulted in the party that wins the highest number of seats in parliament having more seats than all the other parties put together. However, this was not the case in the last general election.
