Five days after the people spoke, Britain has a new government. A little over an hour ago Gordon Brown resigned as Prime Minister and moments ago David Cameron arrived at No. 10 Downing Street as the country's new Prime Minister. Unlike in the United States there is no real "lame duck" period. Mr. Brown had no sooner departed the palace then H.M. the Queen summoned Mr. Cameron and asked him to form a government. After the proforma meeting at the palace Mr. Cameron became at once the Prime Minister.
Governing as a minority Prime Minister will be challenging If history is a guide this might not last that long. We will have to see. But the last hung parliament was dissolved in less than a year.
