I hope they managed to stop the tories raising the inheritance tax threshold. I never understood why they wanted to do that at a time of a lot of cuts.

Lib-con government then. David Cameron, officially the UK Prime minister.

I prefer Con-Dem

Lol. I avoided that on purpose Iv'e heard that joke way too much over the last couple of days.

We don't know if the Liberal Democrats have accepted the coalition yet. Their party could still vote it down, I believe.

But at least Cameron is PM. Finally I have some optimism for British politics.

Internet is full of David Cameron hate from people who can't speak English.

Delightful. How long is this going to go on?

Will someome shut Salmond up.... he keeps saying that the scottish people comprehensively voted against the Tories... this is true.... but he forgets to mention they also voted comprehensively against SNP too! Tories 16.7 Lib 18.9 SNP 19.9. So almost twice as many people voted for Con?lib as voted SNP... he cant have it both ways.

In any case, Scotland is merely a region of the UK in parliamentary terms as we stand.... so shut you mouth Salmond.

Secretary of State for Scotland will likely be a Lib Dem anyway. Same with Wales.

Let them whine... poor things, probably slow of thought.

I for one never actually hated Brown, for one thought he did well to nationalise the banks. Overall it was just the timing of when he came into power and castatrophic problems that overwhelmed.

Give it 6 months before we'll all cry for another Labour government.

its a reaction to the rather thick boo boys that labour seems to attract and have started even before the government has even had a chance.

hooligans.

whereas im sure that during the Labour years the entire Conservative support base was silent, well behaved and gracious in accepting what the government did and its moments in power?

Me neither. I couldn't be happier that Labour are out of government. They have been promoting the wrong values and work ethic that this country needs to prosper. Sure people who literally "cba" to work won't get as much money but this promotes a better work ethic and will ultimatly boost the economy.

Welcome David Cameron...the leader of the United Kingdom

As Blair said in the past...."The people have spoken"
