In his first public statement after winning the general election with a clear majority, UK Prime Minister David Cameron says he has been proud to lead the first coalition government in 70 years but a majority will help deliver more of what his party has promised.
"I truly believe we're on the brink of something special in our country; we can make Britain a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to work and do the right thing. Our manifesto is a manifesto for working people, and as a majority government we will be able to deliver all of it; indeed, it is the reason why I think majority government is more accountable."
Commentating on the election result, Professor Maurice Fraser from the London School of Economics and Political Science says, with Cameron and the Conservatives returning to power, Britain will enter a period of stability.
"Britain needs to ensure that it attracts the confidence of the investors around the world, it needs to be sure that it doesn't frighten the market which will make it more expansive for Britain to borrow money and there will be an expectation that political leaders, especially those who have emerged to power do their duty by the country and help to form a solid and sustainable government."
Although with Mr's Cameron's promise to hold an in and out EU referendum looming large, Professor Fraser says Britain's foreign policies, especially those on Sino-China relationship will stay positive.
"I think the Conservative victories in the general election bodes well for Britain's relationship with China. Because the conservatives are generally seen as competent managers of Britain's foreign policy and of its interests. And everybody can see that Britain's interests lie in a stable, cooperative and constructive relationship with China."
Followed by his public statement, David Cameron has announced some key appointments for the new cabinet, with George Osborne, Theresa May and Phillip Hammond remaining in their respective posts of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary.
