The Liberals have taken five seats in the Cabinet, and more in the lower ministerial ranks. The Conservatives have agreed to hold a referendum on whether Britain should change its first-past-the-post electoral system to an alternative-vote arrangement.
作为一项体制创新，卡梅隆和克列格双方都同意将联盟维持整整5年直到下一次大选来临。他们打造了一个双方都各有取舍的平台。自由党人取得了五个内阁大臣席位以及更多的部长级职位。保守党人则同意举行全民公决，确定英国是否要将其得票数多者当选的选举制度，转换成选民依个人偏好来给候选人排序，最终偏好程度高低来确定胜者(alternative-vote)的新选举安排。
