Setting: 10 Downing Street.
Time: One week after the May 2010 General Election.
Press Conference called by Nick Clegg and David Cameron.
Nick Clegg makes the following statement:
Having spent hours negotiating in good faith with the Labour Party I have now decided to form a fully integrated coalition with the Conservative Party. I have done this because it is now clear to me that the previous government were responsible for everything bad that has happened. The Liberal Democrats will formulate speeches and press releases that provide more details of the awful situation we have inherited from the bad Labour government. As this is a full coalition Liberal Democrats will play a role at every level of government. I will be deputy prime minister. The main purpose of this new style of politics will be to blame everything on the previous government; that is the unifying strength at the heart of our coalition. Liberal Democrats have yearned for the power to blame others; this will be our great opportunity, we will not let it slip out of our hands.
