The Thatcherist governments, which includes Major, would have wet themselves at the interest and inflation rates we have today, as that was one of their main economic policies.
Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see where the inevitable cuts will come. We can all probably second guess where the brunt of them will be applied, but until we see it set down in black and white, I guess we'll just have to sit back and hold our breath.
