I suspect that was more because we were wondering just how incompetent the government could get in that it inherited a growing economy and made the easy cuts, investment and capital expenditure, leaving the economy pretty much stagnant.

Yeah, shame the deficit grew prodigiously while George, with one eye always on 2015, ran the economy for political not economic ends. Now it's politically expedient to invest, it's good to bribe the electorate without pleading national poverty, it's happening.
What we're getting now is some of the recovery this government's policies stalled by 3 years.
You didn't seriously buy that stuff about how we would've become Greece if not for cuts, did you?
