Cadbury Experience Guides Cameron on Pfizer-AstraZeneca

In January 2010, four months before then Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s election defeat, Kraft Foods Group Inc.’s takeover of candy maker Cadbury Plc was used by the Conservative opposition to portray a government that was out of touch with the British people.

Now in power and facing his own general election within the year, Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron is seeking to avoid opening himself to a similar charge over Pfizer Inc.’s bid for London-based AstraZeneca Plc.
