Conservative leader David Cameron has said his party will work with the government to tackle the continuing financial turbulence.
Mr Cameron said, as a "responsible opposition", the Tories would help get legislation through Parliament.
The prime minister spoke to Mr Cameron and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg on Monday night to keep them updated.
Mr Cameron also told the BBC he was qualified to steer Cameron targets 'broken society' ...

'Get on with job'
The main UK and other European share indexes fell in early trading after a $700bn financial rescue plan was rejected by the US Congress.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, from his party's conference in Birmingham, Mr Cameron said: "Just as you need cross-party working in the US to get this vital package through, so in the UK we should stand ready as a responsible opposition to help in any way we can.
"I mean, one thing that is important is the legislation that's been drawn up but not passed on bank rescue, that does need to go through. We've been arguing that for a year.
"Parliament comes back on Monday and I think we need to get on with that job in a cross-party way."
A ComRes poll of 1,017 people for the Independent suggests that the prime minister is still seen as the "best in a crisis" of the party leaders.
Of those polled, 43% said Mr Brown was more trusted on the economy, while 33% trusted Mr Cameron more.
The prime minister has been drumming home the message that, after 10 years at the Treasury, he has the experience and is best placed to steer Britain through the financial turbulence.
Last week Mr Brown said it was "no time for a novice" to lead the country.
But Mr Cameron told the BBC he was qualified to help: "I've worked in the Treasury, I've worked in business, I've run the Conservative party for the last three years.
"I'm running a unified party that is a very strong team of leaders that are so unified that we are able completely to focus on the problems of Britain rather than what happened last week.
"I think even Labour Party people would accept they spent quite a lot of time talking about themselves but you have to prove this in politics over a period of time and that's what I'm devoted to doing."
