The United Kingdom is divided into 650 parliamentary constituencies, each of which elects a member to the House of Commons, the lower house of the British Parliament.

Normally, one of the main political parties is able to secure a majority of seats in the house and the leader of that party is then invited to form a government by the monarch, with him or her self as The Prime Minister.

In the 2010 general election, the Conservative Party had a simple majority but did not have an overall majority ahead of all of the other parties.

In view of this, they entered into a coalition with the Liberal Democrat Party and the Conservative leader, David Cameron, was invited to serve.
