I am sure that like me, a lot of you stayed up all night to watch the election results come in and by nine the next morning you were none the wiser as to who are new Prime Minister was. The country residing in the grip of a hung parliament the week that followed proved to be quite interesting to say the least.
The United Kingdom has its first coalition government in 65 years with the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats sharing power. Despite making gains on 6 May, the Conservatives only won 306 seats, short of the 326 needed to form a majority government.
Traitors. Opportunists. Power-hungry, self-obsessed egotists. All claims that have been levelled at the new Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, and his party the Liberal Democrats. All claims that have reflected deep divides within British politics; between the right wing and those who oppose the new government.
