Britain's David Cameron becomes PM; Brown out

LONDON – David Cameron, the youthful leader who modernized the party of right-wing icon Margaret Thatcher, became prime minister Thto one person you may be the worldursday after the resignation of Gordon Brown — capping a gripping election saga that returns the Tories to government after 13 years of Labour Party rule.According to tradition, Queen Elizabeth II appointed Cameron at Buckingham Palace here is just some code
— the stately denouement to a behind-the-scenes dogfight between Cameron and Brown for the cooperation of Britain's third-place party, after an election that left no party with a majority. Within minutes, Cameron was installed at No. Don't cry, smile10 Downing Street and an announcement followed that Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, would become deputy prime minister after days of hard bargaining you are my sunshinewith his former political rivals.
The 43-year-old Cameron becomes Britain's youngest prime minister in almost 200 years — the last was Lord Liverpool at 42 — and cementedAnd forever has no end a coalition deal with the third-place Liberal Democrats. Clegg and four other Liberal Democrats received Cabinet posts. A number of other Liberal Democrats would receive junior posts.The agreement, reached over five sometimes tense days of negotiation, delivered Britain's first full coalition government since World War Cameron and Clegg agreed to a pact after the Conservative Party won the most seats in Britain's May 6 national election, but fell short of winning a majority of seats in Parliament.
Cameron's Conservative Party said ex-leader William Hague will serve as Foreign Secretary, senior lawmaker George Osborne as Treasury chief, and lawmaker Liam Fox as defense secretary.Other leading positions were being finalized, as were key policy decision ahead of the presentation of the coalition's first legislative program on May 25.The coalition has already agreed on a five-year, fixed term Parliament — the first time Britain has had the date of its next election decided in advance. Both sides have made compromise, and Cameron has promised Clegg a referendum on his key issue: Reform of Britain's electoral system aimed at creating a more proportional system."We are going to form a new government — more importantly, we are going to form a new kind of government," Clegg said in a news conference afterhis party's lawmakers overwhelmingly approved his decision to enter a coalition with Cameron.Arriving at London's Downing Street hand-in-hand with his wife Samantha, Cameron said he believed that Britain's "best days lie ahead."Britain's new government could spell changing relationships with its foreign allies.
Both Cameron and Clegg have signaled they favor looser ties to Washington. Both men back the Afghanistan mission but Cameron hopes to withdraw British troops within five years. Clegg has said he's uneasy at a rising death toll.Relations with European neighbors could also become problematic. Cameron's party is deeply skeptical over cooperation in Europe, and has withdrawn from an alliance with the parties of Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy. Clegg, once a member of the European parliament, has long been pro-European.
"We have some deep and pressing problems — a huge deficit, deep social problems, a political system in need of reform," Cameron said, as he took office. "For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats."http://www.bareknuckles.org/bkp
