Multiple Choice

In May 2010, the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties formed a coalition and the leader of the Liberal Democrat Party became Prime Minister.

When no party has an outright majority, parties may form a coalition to govern together. In May 2010, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats did just that, with David Cameron, the Conservative leader, becoming Prime Minister. The Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, became Deputy Prime Minister and took other ministerial roles, but he did not become Prime Minister. So the statement is not correct.
