The youngest prime minister David Cameron is the leader of conservative who has been replaced by a coalition between the conservative party and Liberal Democrats on 6 th May. Tony Blair and then Gordon Brown are the last two leader of the labour party which had been in power since 1997.
The conservative have aimed to favour the free market that is transfer from state to private ownership and low taxation while Labour has communicated a commitment to greater social and economic quality .The Lib Dems is closer to Labour than Conservatives in the political spectrum situation .
After general election the Conservatives won 36% of votes and they had the highest number of seats so they knew that they must support of another party to form a government.Then the conservatives and the Lib Dems announced they would form a coalition.
The Lib Dems with a quarter of votes got fewer than 10% of the seats.Britain does not have a system of proportional representation(PR)in which the percentage of seats a party holds in parliament is equal.
A general election consists of 650 separate Local elections most of them are won by Conservative or Labour candidates and the Lib do not believe the electoral system is correct and many British agree.
The Conservatives have agreed to a national referendum on a change to an ‘alternative vote’ system for future general elections that could be more proportional than the present system .
