Re: The New British Government: David Cameron is Prime Minister
I don't believe Her Majesty has invited him to form a Government yet, so he technically isn't the Prime Minister yet

Re: The New British Government: David Cameron is Prime Minister
I rather doubt this coalition will last for long especially if they give the Liberal Democrats proportional representation as the carrot.

Re: The New British Government: David Cameron is Prime Minister
How long was he in there to resign? Did he just chuck the letter on the desk and go?
If he had a cup of tea, it certainly did not touch the sides.

Re: The New British Government: David Cameron is Prime Minister
To assume that the only course of action is to place cameron in power, although the most likely outcome is not necessarily the only outcome, to assume so in such an environment could be classed as a Premature Evaluation.

Harriet Harman has her wish - she is (acting) Leader of the Labour Party.

He probably called Her Majesty a 'Bigot' and was invited to leave

... And if the Lib-Con deal falls through, we'll be having another election soon...
--------------------------------------------------
My thoughts: Although I'm not a Tory, & do not particularly like the Tories, I think that this is the only outcome which could have worked. We need a stable Government with a healthy majority in the House of Commons: the only way we can get that with this month's election results is for a coalition between the Tories & the Lib Dems. A "Rainbow Alliance" or "Progressive Coalition" simply could not have worked.
Assuming a deal, I'll be voting yes in the AV referendum, and will be hoping for some other decent concessions to the Lib Dems.
It will also be nice to see the back of New Labour's ID Card scheme & over Orwellian nonsense...

They have made no mention of offering PR to the Lib Dems, & I find it extremely unlikely that they would do so.
Both sides have said they want a stable long term coalition.
