Despite Brown's resignation announcement yesterday, Labour wasn't able to make any deals, which left 2 possibilities. First, the Conservatives would make a deal with the Liberal Democrats (which has been in discussions since Friday) and rule with a coalition government. The other option would be for the Conservatives to skip a deal with the Lib Dems and simply form a minority government. Either way, the new PM is David Cameron. Here's a screen shot from Brown's official resignation announcement tonight. It's the entire Brown family leaving their home at 10 Downing Street (sorry about the "buffering" circles). They went from here to Buckingham Palace (and yes, BBC cameras followed their car all the way) to tell the Queen to invite David Cameron to form a government.
Here's some hilarious perspective about the possible coalition between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. A high-ranking Conservative politician, Boris Johnson, the famously comical mayor of London, described the Liberal Democrats as "Janus-faced, spineless protoplasmic invertebrate amoebic fibbers." Strange bedfellows? No question!

Been thinking about you while watching all of this unfold on the news. But not totally sure as to what it all really means. Why did Brown resign?? I thought he was doing a good job.
