Our worst debt as a percentage of GDP has been under Tory governments although WW2 contributed a lot to that. Up until we had to bail the banks out, Brown can't be blamed for banking deregulation in America, debt had been 40-50% of GDP through Tory and Labour governments.

As for a hung parliament, it's looking likely. I can't imagine the Tory's managing the kind of record swings necessary to take overall control. I'm curious to see what would happen under a hung parliament. It could be good for democracy but there hasn't been a worse time for it.
