After days of political horse-trading
the UK finally has a new government and a new Prime Minister,
following the resignation of Labour's Gordon Brown on Tuesday evening.
Since last Thursday's general election resulted in a hung parliament,
a situation in which none of the political parties has an overall majority,
British politicians have been attempting to form a coalition government.
Such a government is comparatively rare in the UK.
Indeed this is the first coalition since the Second World War.

英国工党的戈登·布朗于周二晚辞职后，

在英国历史上很罕见的联合政府。
事实上这是英国二战以来的第一个联合政府。
