May 12, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): David Cameron is the dynamic and vigorous chief, who renovated the Conservative party of right-wing icon, Margaret Thatcher. Cameron became the new British Prime Minister (PM) on Tuesday after the admission of defeat by the Labor Party and the consequent resignation of the beleaguered Gordon Brown. The transfer of the British Prime Ministership to Cameron has put a ceiling on the attention-grabbing and enthralling British electoral saga that has eventually witnessed the rise of the Conservatives to the position of being able to form a government at the centre. The Conservatives have been mandated to govern Britain by the British electorate. This has happened subsequent to the Labor Party’s democratic supremacy that lasted for approximately 13 long years.

Adhering to convention, Queen Elizabeth II chose Cameron at Buckingham Palace. The Palace was a majestic cessation to an out of sight battle between the Conservative party’s Cameron and Labor party’s Brown for the assistance of Britain’s third-place party, the Liberal Democrats. The national elections left no party with an unequivocal majority.

Within minutes, the 43-year-old Cameron was inaugurated at No. 10 Downing Street. Cameron has managed to become the youngest Prime Minister in almost 200 years, since Lord Liverpool embraced the British Prime Ministership at age 42.

A declaration followed that Liberal Democrats’ boss, Nick Clegg, would become deputy Prime Minister. This is an infrequently bequeathed and rather high-status post. The deputy Prime Ministership has been supplied to Nick Clegg subsequent to days of inflexible haggling with his previous political competitors, the Conservatives. Four other Liberal Democrats also attained Cabinet posts.

Cameron and Clegg consented to create a coalition after Cameron’s Conservative Party acquired the most number of seats in Britain’s May 6 national elections. However, it was not able to procure a majority of the seats in the British Parliament. The political pact has been arrived at after five days of stressed negotiation. The coalition between the centrist Liberal Democrats and the rightist Conservatives will be Britain’s first full coalition government since World War II.

Cameron expressed that he and Nick Clegg are political leaders who yearn to set aside ideological divergences and to function hard for the national welfare and for the national interest.
