In the last couple of hours Gordon Brown has resigned as Prime Minister and David Cameron has accepted the Queen's request to form a new government - although there was some confusion about whether he had to kiss her hand to do so! Clearly this a historic moment - the return of a Conservative Prime Minister and the first full coalition government since the war. The key words in Cameron's somewhat low key speech were "difficult" and "together". He will have quite a task keeping disappointed Conservatives and Liberals on board (particularly as the LibDems haven't even officially approved this deal yet!) not to mention forming a set of policies under such massive financial pressures. He's going to have to fit a new baby into all of this as well!
Where does he go from here? As ever, add your comments below!
