UK coalition advice from Germany, Ireland and Sweden

The UK has been governed by a coalition since 2010, and at the 2015 general election voters could back either one party - or a new alliance.

He spoke to Die Welt correspondent Stefanie Bolzen, Irish minster Noel Dempsey and Swedish Centre Party State Secretary Magnus Waller.
