Cameron has clearly acknowledged that there are “profound areas of disagreement” between the two ruling parties in Britain after the British government was forced to drop plans for a Parliamentary vote on plans to reform the House of Lords.
British politicians are at loggerheads over Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg’s plans for House of Lords reforms. The proposals include cutting the House to almost half its current size from 826 peers to 450 with 80 percent of the members being elected. Currently, almost all peers are appointed either by political parties or by the independent House of Lords Commission.
However, with nearly 100 Tory MPs believed to have rebelled, the British government was forced to drop plans for a Parliamentary vote on the proposals.
“They [British people] will not tolerate division and navel-gazing. They know that the problems are big and they do not want to see politicians fall out in the process of dealing with them”, said Cameron.
Meanwhile, Cameron highlighted the points of difference between his party and the Liberal Democrats which would be in focus during the next general election in the country.
