“The fact that we are both democracies makes a huge difference in our relationship”-
Commenting on India
- On 11 May 2010, following the resignation of Gordon Brown as Prime Minister and on his recommendation, Queen Elizabeth II invited Cameron to form a government.
- At age 43, Cameron became the youngest British Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool, who was appointed in 1812. In his first address outside
- Cameron outlined how he intended to "put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. "Thus as one of his first moves Cameron appointed Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democratic leader, as Deputy Prime Minister on 11 May 2010.
- Between them, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats control 363 seats in the House of Commons, with a majority of 76 seats.
- He was elected leader of the Conservative Party in December 2005, and has been a Member of Parliament for the Witney constituency since 2001. Before he became an MP, he was a Special Adviser to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then to the Home Secretary.

I think that the fact that he wants to put aside party differences is all trash....the conservatives had 306 seats and to form a majority govt. u need 326, hence, 57 seats from the Liberal Democrats....The ideological differences between the two parties are almost like the one, the Congress party shares with Mamata Banerjee[Trinamool Congress] and Karunanidhi[DMK], both are given big ministries to satisfy their taste for power....And the article is rightly labeled as power politics...because in the end its all about "Kissa Kursi Ka"
It will be fun to watch him put a balance in the fragile condition which comes in coalition govt. India is seeing it for a long time and now UK will also taste some coalition govt games:)
He will see what Mr. Manmohan is going through for the past 6 years now.
