  The Coalition has been forced to take decisions that are not in the national interest, David Cameron admitted on Thursday.
  
  The Prime Minister issued his strongest comments yet on the troubles faced by the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in implementing policies and as they navigate the next 18 months before the next election. At a business leaders conference in the Indian capital Delhi, Mr Cameron said he had been forced to make compromises with the Liberal Democrats to make governing work.
  
  The PM told leading Indian broadcaster Rajdeep Sardesai: "I would prefer not to have a Coalition. We were confronted with a hung parliament after the election with a country in economic crisis. The most important thing to do was to get on and form a government...and make it work.
  
  "We've shown it can work. And actually the good parts of Coalition are because you have these arguments within government and you have to proceed on a rational basis - that's good.
  
  "I think what's bad about it is that sometimes you have to make compromises that are not necessarily in the long-term interests of the country."
