David Cameron is new UK Prime Minister

Conservative leader David Cameron is the new UK Prime Minister following the resignation of Gordon Brown.



The 43-year-old Cameron left Buckingham Palace earlier after formally accepting the Queen\'s request to form a government.



Mr Cameron\'s Conservative Party won the most seats in the UK general election last week, but not an overall majority and has been in coalition talks.



It’s not yet known whether they have reached a formal agreement with the Liberal Democrats to form a coalition.



The Conservatives have been in days of negotiations with the Liberal Democrats who were also negotiating with Labour after the UK election resulted in a hung parliament.



However, the Liberal Democrats say talks with Labour failed because the Labour Party never took seriously the prospects of forming a progressive, reforming government.
