UK Lib Dems say Conservatives should try to form gov't

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said on Friday that he believed the larger opposition Conservative party should try to form the next British government after an inconclusive election.

"It seems this morning that it is the Conservative party that has more votes and more seats though not an absolute majority and that is why I think it is now for the Conservative party to prove that it is capable of seeking to govern in the national interest," Clegg told reporters in London.
