UK coalition talks over

The BBC is reporting that coalition talks in the UK between the Liberal Democrats and the Tories are over.



The decision appears to clear the way for a Liberal Democrat and Tory deal which will see David Cameron succeeding Labour\'s Gordon Brown as Prime Minister.



The Liberal Democrat and Conservative teams are still in talks, four days after the UK election delivered a hung parliament.



Mr. Cameron, the Conservative leader, met Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg in private for an hour earlier this morning.



At least two rounds of meetings are scheduled for later today between Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs.



Both Labour and the Tories have been trying to woo the Lib Dems with promises on electoral reform to help them form a government.



The Conservatives won the most seats in Thursday\'s election but were short of an overall majority.
