We don't know what would have happened if Labour had won, they didn't. The Conservatives won and the economy is now their responsibility.

True. Putting the mess right is their responsibility but they can't be blamed for its creation any more than the last lot can be excused. What's needed now is constructive consensus - not point scoring. This crisis is as serious as a major war and bringing down the govt. only to replace them with those who got us into this mess would, IMHO, spell very big trouble indeed. What we need from our politicians most of all now is
leadership and putting their personal ambitions second to the national good.
