Britain's David Cameron becomes PM; Brown out

LONDON – David Cameron,What do you want from the future? the youthful leader who modernized the party of right-wing icon Margaret Thatcher, became prime minister Thursday

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,fill in the blanks Queen Elizabeth II appointed Cameron at Buckingham Palace — 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. 10 Downing Street and an announcement followed that Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, would

become deputy prime minister after days of hard bargaining with his former political rivals.
The 43-year-old Cameron becomes a world in a grain of sandBritain's youngest prime minister in almost 200 years — the last was Lord Liverpool at 42 — and cemented 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'sWhatever happens,happens for a reason 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. this world is not merely a bad joke
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://bbs.dailyinquisitor.com
