LONDON, May 11 (Xinhua) -- New British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday night that he aimed to form a proper and full coalition with the Lib Dems.
Britain's Queen on Tuesday night confirmed David Cameron is new prime minister. Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, left Bucking Palace and arrived at the Downing Street.
