Whilst I think there are serious flaws in some of what's being done in the name of 'austerity', which other countries have recovered faster than the UK? I don't see many signs of much recovery or growth in Europe.
Bearing in mind the massively disproportionately effect the failure of our banking system had on the UK's problems after 2008, we were in a far more serious position than many of our competitors and even now things in that huge sector are far from good.

As regards where we are politically, surely Blair's success was in part* due to the abject failure of the Tories to provide any credible opposition for a good number of years. We're in a similar situation now I reckon and the longer Labour carry on with this loony nonsense the longer it'll before they regain any semblance of credibility as an opposition.

* another part being the highly popular policy of chucking money around like there was no tomorrow.
