LONDON-New British Prime Minister David Cameron wants to form a coalition government between his Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats, he said Tuesday. Cameron was invited to form the next government by Queen Elizabeth II about one hour after she accepted Gordon Brown's resignation Tuesday evening. The right-wing Conservatives won the largest number of seats in last week's election, but not enough to let them govern on their own. Brown's left-wing Labour Party came in second, and the Liberal Democrats third. A Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition would have the majority of MPs in the House of Commons. Cameron praised his predecessor in brief remarks outside 10 Downing Street before disappearing into prime minister's official residence with his wife Samantha. Cameron said he aimed "to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats," saying it would be "the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I believe we need so badly." CNN quoted him as saying he wanted "to put aside party differences and work together for the common good and the national interest."
