NB: Since 2010 when the Cons. took power from the Labour Party.
You need to see the figures of the galloping debt during the Labour stewardship and you might change your mind.
Debt is so large in recent times that no Government (whatever the colour) could tackle it with the normal approaches used by those in the past; something much more that austerity needs to be done not just to slow down the rate of growth of the National Debt but to send it into reverse...!
Have you got the figures for the pre-2010 Labour period?
I found the above figures here:

Dig around in the Office of National Statistics, you can find everything you require there...

I'm sure it's going to be leading to a rise in taxes sooner or later.

When interest rates are low it makes sense to borrow for necessary infrastructure. Nothing is ever black and white.

The increase in 2008-09 is largely due to the rescue package provided for the banking crisis.

Apart from the above I do not see any horses galloping here.

Perhaps you need to see the actual debt figures rather than the % of GDP which is a % of a moving target.

The actual £ will always go up due to inflation. You will need to adjust for inflation to get any kind of comparable statistics. Or use the % of GDP, which is a better guide to the balance of debt and money being made.

From what I’ve read, none of the parties are talking about ‘Cutting back’ if elected
So The debt will just keep growing

So all the people who died due to the austerity measures died for nothing big round of applause for the economic masters (tories) and the opportunistic minions who let them in (lib dems).
