A new government had been created in Britain on the 6th of may called Labor Party. Since 1997 the two prime ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair had been in Power, but they had been replaced by the coalition between the Liberal Democrats and the conservatives party. David Cameron who was the leader of the conservatives became the new prime minister. Since the end of the second world war in 1945 the Labor had been in power, so Liberal Democrats formed part of the government and it was the first time in 65 years.
The conservatives have tended to favour the free market, privatization and low taxation. In the last ten or fifteen years the distance between the two parties has decreased. In the genetal election the conservatives won with 36%, Labour 29%, and the Lib Dems 23% of the votes, other votes were shared by smaller parties. Of the 650 seats in  the British parliament, the conservation  won 306, Labour 258, and the Lib Dems 57. Since 1974, for the first time no party had a majority.
