David Cameron the new UK Prime Minister



The new UK Prime Minister David Cameron is shaping his government, after his Conservative Party formed an historic coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg is to be the new deputy prime minister, with four colleagues also getting cabinet jobs.

In a message to supporters, Mr Cameron said it marked a "new era for Britain" adding: "Now let's get to work."

The coalition is the first time the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have had a power-sharing deal at Westminster and the first coalition in the UK since the Second World War.

Brown resignation

Mr Cameron's arrival in Downing Street marks the end of 13 years of Labour rule. The Conservative leader, who is six months younger than Tony Blair was when he won power in 1997, is the youngest prime minister since 1812 and the first Old Etonian to hold the office since the early 1960s.

The Conservatives won the most seats in last week's general election, but not enough to secure an overall Commons majority, resulting in a hung Parliament.

The Lib Dems, the UK's third biggest party, held days of talks with the Conservatives and the Labour Party - who won the second highest number of seats. A deal with the Tories was reached on Tuesday that resulted in Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown resigning.
There are expected to be about 20 Lib Dems - more than a third of their MPs - in government jobs in total.
What was clear as talks progressed is the common ground between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. And that is displayed in this agreement, with our commitment to building a green economy, decentralising power and protecting civil liberties - including scrapping ID cards."
