The New UK Government ..






   British had a new government on 6th called Labor Party and there were two prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. That had been in power since 1997. The new prime minister is David Cameron , the leader of the Conservatives. The Labour have been in power since the end of the Second World War in 1945, so Liberal Democrats have formed part of a government for the first time in 65 years. The Conservatives have tended to favour the free market, privatization and low taxation. The distance between both parties has decreased in the last ten or fifteen years. in the general election the Conservatives won 36% of the votes, Labour 29%, and the Lib Dems 23%.Of the 650 seats in the British parliament, the Conservatives won 306, Labour 258, and Lib Dems 57. For the first time since 1974 there are no party had a majority. British does not have a system of proportional representation (PR) in which the percentage of seats a party holds in parliament is equal, or at least very similar to national vote. In the British system the country is divided into 650 districts (called constituencies) each of them have one representative in parliament (MP). Finally, the lib Dems argues that the electoral system is unfair. Many British people agree. They had to settle for a compromise the Conservative have agreed to a national referendum on a change to an alternative vote system for future general election.
