A new government

The leader of the Conservatives party is Britain's new Prime Minister. Majority of the seats were won by the Conservatives which gives the Conservatives the upper hands in the Britain parliament. The Liberal democrats (or Lib Dems for short) organised a government in 65 years because the Conservatives or Labour have been ruling after the Second World War in 1945. The Lib Dems and Conservatives merged together in five days after the general election. The Lib Dems have been regarded as standing in between the Conservatives and Labour. The Lib Dems wanted a different electoral system in future during the negotiations following the huge parliament. Until this year the British general elections always resulted in the party that won the highest number of seats in parliament having more seats than other parties.
