David Cameron has become Britain's youngest Prime Minister in almost 200 years as the head of a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition which was agreed during a day of extraordinary drama in Westminster.
The new coalition is Britain's first since the Second World War. Mr Cameron's 23-strong Cabinet will include five Liberal Democrats, giving the party their first taste of real power for 70 years. Nick Clegg, their leader, becomes Deputy Prime Minister.
The Tory leader was formally appointed by the Queen just minutes after Gordon Brown met her to tender his resignation, following the collapse of Labour's talks with the Liberal Democrats aimed at keeping the Conservatives out of power.
イギリスの保守党党首、デビッド・キャメロンが、この２００年の間でもっとも若い首相になった。
第二次大戦以降、初の連立政権である。２３の閣僚ポストのうち、５つを自民党に配分する。自民党党首のニック・クレッグは副首相になる。
労働党のゴードン・ブラウン前首相が女王に辞意を伝えた後、デビッドは正式に首相に任命された。
new words: coalition 連合 formally 正式に resignation 辞職 collapse 崩壊する
感想：ついに英国の２大政党制が崩れましたね。日本はどうなるのでしょうかね・・・
