UK gets change but not at cost of stability

Gordon Brown's "heroic" resignation as Labour Party leader paved the way for Conservative leader David Cameron to enter No. 10 Downing Street and relieve the election labor pain that the United Kingdom was suffering from.

But the rarity of a coalition government in the UK and the different stances of the coalition partners on immigration, taxation and the European Union (EU) have triggered widespread speculation over the direction British politics will take. Will the coalition government of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats be able to lead the country effectively?

The world is busy talking about the change the UK election has brought about, but the "unchanged" theme running through the country's politics deserves equal if not more attention.
