UK Liberal Democrats mull pact with Conservatives
None
Britain's Liberal Democrats mulled the possibility Saturday of joining the Conservative Party to form a coalition government as political leaders manuevered for power following an inconclusive national election. It's not at all certain that the two parties could work together, but Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg says the Conservatives deserve a chance to try to form a government because they won the most seats in Thursday's voting.
With 306 seats in the House of Commons, David Cameron's Conservatives are still 20 short of a bare majority. Backing from the 57 Liberal Democrat legislators would give the Conservatives a comfortable cushion for passing legislation. (AP)
