I would question your definition of credibility given that they didn't have a new leader prior to the election and it has since transpired that the new leader the party favoured turned out not to be the one you think they should have had. With their leadership prospects so royally screwed, from whence comes the credibility of which you speak?
As for the rest of it, I think we are still a long, long way from Greek-style protests on our streets. Greece barely has the money to pay anyone's wages, leading to a round of belt tightening the likes of which we've never seen, nor are ever likely to. It's not surprising they're all out on the streets. Here in the uk were just going to have to get used to the idea that was taken for granted in your generation: credt is for massive purchases you can't reasonably afford at the time, like a car or a house, not things you can't be bothered to wait for, like a TV or handset upgrade.
