Today there was a joint press conference with the new PM David Cameron and Deputy PM Nick Clegg. The two parties talked about the new coalition between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives and answered press questions. (video is part two)
There was a strange moment when a journalist reminded Cameron of a past comment when he said Nick Clegg after being asked what his favourite joke was. Clegg's reaction was to do a mock 'that's it I'm off' joke, very weird and gigglesome. (9:00 minutes in).
It's clear the question of how long the two parities can make a coalition work will remain, but hey it's the first day lets feel a little bit hopeful for a few hours.
"Mr Clegg admitted both party leaders were taking "big risks" but said it would be a "new politics": "It's a new kind of government, a radical, reforming government where it needs to be and a source of reassurance and stability at a time of great uncertainty in our country too.""-BBC

It's the perfect press joke moment for the two. Even if you're unhappy about the coalition, you've got to laugh.
