Well I think it's hard to quantify really how much our economy was recovering even if we were going into the election on the back of two or three quarters of tentative growth. Labour also love to remind people that 2007 saw a worldwide recession which was apparently none of their fault, if we allow for that we also have to allow for how volatile the global economy was in the early days of the Coalition. The government has had to steer through some incredibly choppy waters, particularly the Eurozone crisis really blew up from around when they came to power. Mistakes aplenty have been made by this government but the UK has come out the other side of the last few years of economic turmoil in a lot better shape than most of Europe.
