News of the structure of our new government with a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition has brought to an end the days of speculation following last week's General Election.

Dr Andrew Murrison, who was returned as the Conservative MP for our South West Wilts constituency last week with a majority of 10,367 over Lib Dem candidate Trevor Carbin, has given the following comment:

"We are entering

uncharted waters with the formation of a coalition between

Conservatives and the Lib Dems.

Many will find this an unlikely union,

even an uncomfortable one, but politicians have to operate with

the hand they're dealt by the voters.

The priority is to ensure stable

government that has a chance of sorting out the huge structural deficit

David Cameron has inherited.

I wish the coalition well and will do

what I can to support it in the national interest."
