THE TELEGRAPH: Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has said that he hoped his party's coalition with Conservatives would mark the creation of a "new kind of government" in Britain.
Addressing supporters in Westminster, the newly-appointed Deputy Prime Minister said his recommendation to enter an administration with the Tories had been "overwhelmingly" endorsed by his party's MPs and its federal executive.
He said that he was now looking forward to working with David Cameron and sought to reassure supporters in the country, insisting he would not have agreed the deal unless he was convinced it would deliver the changes they wanted.
Speaking at Westminster where the Lib Dem MPs and the federal executive had been meeting, Mr Clegg praised Mr Cameron for his "positive, constructive and workmanlike" approach to the negotiations. >>> | Wednesday, May 12, 2010
