Cameron Pledges No More Coalition Governments

British Prime Minister David Cameron “is preparing to fight the next general election on a clear promise to the British people not to form a second coalition government even if he falls short of a Commons majority,” the Daily Telegraph reports.

“The Prime Minister wants to make a commitment in the Conservative Party election manifesto not to sign a second power-sharing deal with a smaller party in the event of a hung parliament next May… Instead, a Conservative party that won the most seats but lacked a Commons majority would attempt to rule as a minority government, a course that would almost certainly lead to its early collapse and a quick second election.”
