Prime Minister: The PM
and coalition government
- A Commons majority and a unified party
are the two key requirements for effective
prime ministerial power
- A "hung" Parliament changes this because, in minority
or coaltion government, PMs are much more vulnerable
to pressure exerted by another party or other party
- The Con-Lib dem coalition in 2010, David Camerons power
as PM must be understood in the light of the new and
dynamic framework that coalition governmemt establishes
- A "hung" Parliament changes this because, in minority
or coaltion government, PMs are much more vulnerable
to pressure exerted by another party or other party
- Fixed term
Parliaments
- Under this, the next UK general election will take place
on 7 May 2015. An election could still be triggered with
a 2/3 majority of no confidence by the Commons.

- Power of
patronage
- The appointment of a cabinet in the first place, and
subsequent reshuffles, promotions and demotions,
have to take account of their impact on the coaltion.
- Cameron had to bind the whole cabinet together in its
Con and Lib Dem members alike. especially in view of the
unpopular nature of some of the policies. The Lib Dem
were given prominent roles in the Cameron government.
- Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister, and
four other Lib Dems were appointed. This
ensured that Lib Dems were closely
involved in coalition's economic strategy
- Vince Cable was Business Secretary
- David Laws Chief Secretary to the Treasury
- Laws was responsible for negotiating
the programme of spending suts with
each government department

- The constraints were illustrated at the end of may 2010, when Laws resigned over
parliamentary expenses. Danny Alexander (Lib Dem) was appointed for a
like-for-like arrangment. The failure to sack Vince Cable in December 2010, over
his comments on opposing to Rupert Murdoch's proposed take-over of BSkyB -
neutral. Cameron snd Clegg's reluctance to lose Cable reflected his important role
in the cabinet and his support amongst grass-roots Lib Dems

- Prerogative power
- This affect all the decision- making
processes of government, inhibiting the
PM's capacity to exert policy leaderhship.
- This occurs because, unlike single-party govenment, coaltions
invole an ongoing and complex process of negotiation,
conciliations and conflict resolution between coaltion partners
- In the case of Con-Lib Dem coaltion,
Camerons policy influence has been
limited in a number of ways:
- There is deep disagreement between Con and Lib
Dems, independent commissions or policy reviews
have been set up develop compromise proposals
- By january 2011, there were no fewer than 90
such commission or reviews were in existence,
ranging from the replacement of the Trident
nuclear system to the future of control orders on
terrorist suspects
- Such devices may help to keep the peace between
coaltions partners, but they also prevent the PM, from
taking personal control over controverial issues
- By january 2011, there were no fewer than 90
such commission or reviews were in existence,
ranging from the replacement of the Trident
nuclear system to the future of control orders on

- One of the important features of coaltion
government is the greater need for formalized
decision-making to maintain trust and
transparency between coaltion partners
- A Cabinet Manual, was published in 2011, which
provides guidance about the conduct and relations
between government. This means it will be more
difficult to return to Blair-style "sofa govenment

- In the case of higher level strategic and policy differences between the
coaltion partners, Cameron has used what is sometimes called "the quad" -
meetings between Cameron, Clegg and their two closest senior Cabinet
colleagues, the Chancellor George Osborne, and Danny Alexander
- Such arrangments to ensure unity between the coalition
partners are also evident in the fact that there is a Lib
Dem presence in every governmnet department and in
the coaltions use of the cabinet committees

- Undoubtedly, the most important relationship within the coaltions
is between Cameron and Clegg, who quickly developed a close
working relationship and meet on a regular basis
- Some have argued that Clegg's "deputy" role within
this realtionship is misleading as, to keep the
coaltion on track, the two must function as equals
