This is this coalition's big challenge. They have to entice people used to having their Labour cushioned arses wiped for them into accepting responsibility for themselves rather than assuming the government will do things for them or at very least give them money.

It's not going to be pleasant but it is, from my Centrist point of view, absolutely required to avoid the UK being pulled even further to the left.

If people stop and look this government isn't a patch on past Tory governments in terms of size of the state, not even close, and their cuts to services are pretty tame. They only seem large due to the unprecedented (in peace time) swelling of the public sector the previous administration carried out.
