Crisis Action provides a handy guide to navigating the Coalition Government
21 May 2010
After the General Election on 6 May 2010, it soon became evident that a coalition government would be taking the country forward after 13 years of Labour government. With no party reaching an outright majority, a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government was formed - the first in British politics since World War Two. But what does this mean for policy and practice, and how will it affect humanitarian organisations?
Crisis Action has answered the need for swift clarification with a new overview of key appointments in the new government. The guide outlines those appointments which are likely to be critical for shaping policy on international conflict, security and the protection of civilians in crisis, and outlines the early commitments and pointers outlined in the new government's statements.
