After days of political horse-trading |
[00:02.79] |
the UK finally has a new government and a new Prime Minister, |
[00:06.92] |
following the resignation of Labour's Gordon Brown on Tuesday evening. |
[00:10.73] |
Since last Thursday's general election resulted in a hung parliament, |
[00:15.16] |
a situation in which none of the political parties has an overall majority, |
[00:19.95] |
British politicians have been attempting to form a coalition government. |
[00:24.78] |
Such a government is comparatively rare in the UK. |
[00:28.96] |
Indeed this is the first coalition since the Second World War. |
