2025: David Cameron tells party supporters he will not rush into a deal with the Lib Dems. In his emailed message he says: "Inevitably, these negotiations will involve compromise. But that's what working together in the national interest means. I hope we can sort things out as quickly as possible, for the good of the country. But we won't rush into any agreement.
