Prime Minister David Cameron faces a difficult parliamentary
election in May 2015. Not only does Britain’s historically stable parliamentary
system appear to be fragmenting into a multiple party system requiring
coalition governments, but his party, the Conservatives, appear to be losing
their far right euro skeptics to a new independent party, UKIP (United Kingdom
Independence Party).
Cameron’s current partners, Liberal Democrats, are losing
support and may be unable to help form a government. At the same time,
opposition Labour, led by Ed Miliband, are no more popular than the
Conservatives.
American political consultants David Axelrod and Jim Messina
are helping Cameron’s Conservatives and Miliband’s Labour parties, respectively.
As Obama’s top hands in 2008 and 2012, they know elections. But, they also are
experts on producing gridlock.
