Indeed. Taking in to account inflation the deficit left when Osborne took over from Darling as Chancellor was only slightly worse than the one we had when John Major sacked Norman Lamont as Chancellor and appointed Ken Clarke to take his place. At the end of the first term of the 'New Labour' government (with Brown as Chancellor) the country's finances were the best they had been for over 30 years.

However, many people choose to believe what the PR consultants employed by the Conservative Party have come up with, over the truth - an independent body prior to the 2015 general election said the Lib Dems were the only party to have a complete viable financial plan with the Conservative's plan requiring more spending cuts then they are admitting to and Labour's plan omitting a time scale.
