We will never know what Labour would have done if they had managed to get back for another term of office so it is really all academic.

And yes, I do know that governments always blame the last incumbent for their woes....but I would hazard a guess that this government have got the worst deal in living memory....while in my living memory anyway.
We are told what that Labour created the worse economic mess ever.. I was not even alive in the early years after WW2 but the then Government took over a waste land.. no blame to the Tories because all political parties fought that war and we where left totally skint.. Labour won the following election on the agenda of building schools.. the NHS.. pensions.. building houses...all opposed by the Tories.. it all cost money this country did not have.. but it was an investment in the future.
Margaret I don't know your age but surely you have seen Governments come and go.. they all blame the "last lot" .. but the Tories make a habit of punishing those less well off for any economic downfall.
