THE TELEGRAPH: Right-wing Conservatives are unhappy with David Cameron’s deal with the Liberal Democrats, privately expressing concern that he has given up too much to his coalition partners.
Some Conservatives have also predicted that the deal will quickly become strained over Britain’s relationship with the European Union. There is also anger among some Tories about being denied government posts to make way for Liberal Democrat ministers.
Mr Cameron has acknowledged that members of his party were uneasy about the deal, but insisted that the success of the coalition would assuage them.
“People of whatever wing of whatever party will see a good government and respect that,” the Prime Minister said at his joint press conference with Nick Clegg, his Liberal Democrat deputy.
Mr Cameron secured the agreement to share power by giving the smaller party five Cabinet seats. >>> James Kirkup, Political Correspondent | Thursday, May 13, 2010
