Saw some changes but did not really amount to power sharing
- Asquith remained PM
- Kitchener as minster for war
- Lloyd George into potentially crucial minster of munitions
- Chancellor of the Exchequer + foreign secretary remained liberal
- Bonar Law made colonial secretary, not a major role
- Balfour made First Lord of the Admiralty
- Henderson made minister of education but more importantly brought in as a symbol that Labour would be consulted
Important cabinet positions went to Liberals - Liberals still hold balance of power.
Conservatives had insignificant roles.
Labour's position was simply performative consultation.
