No but it wouldn't make it right in that case either.
The deficit adds the debt. A large deficit will mean you need to borrow more which will increase the debt. They inherited a pretty big deficit. That said they didn't cut it anywhere near as much as they said they would.The Conservatives seem to actually have reverted to what Labour's plans where had they won the election.
