The authors outline the factors that enabled the union, including economic circumstances, parliamentary politics, the initially amicable relationship established between David Cameron and Nick Clegg, and the apparent ideological closeness of Conservative modernisers and Orange Book Liberal Democrats. The authors then analyse how these factors shaped the policy agenda pursued over the five years, including the issues of deficit reduction, public sector reform, and welfare reduction, before discussing the tensions that developed as a result of these decisions. Ultimately, relations between the coalition partners steadily became less amicable and more acrimonious, as mutual respect gave way to mutual recrimination.Great Britain—Politics and governmentElectionsBritish Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911120Electoral Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911070Great BritainPolitics and government21st centuryGreat Britain—Politics and government.Elections.British Politics.Electoral Politics.320.941Dorey Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut784224Garnett Mark1963-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910255313003321The British Coalition Government, 2010-20152505431UNINA
