They believe that the previous Labour government made a big mess and got us into loads of debt, and that Cameron / Osborne / the current Government have "balanced the books" with their austerity measures.

Conservatism is a really interesting ideology...well actually its many interesting ideologies and this is why so many 'traditional' conservatives are now standing up against these neoliberal charlatans and saying "enough". Neoliberal conservatism is very much a contradiction of every other conservative ideology and so if they want to survive politically, some changes will need to take place.
I just ignore those who still believe the Labour party brought this country into disrepute and that the conservatives are the ones trying to restore our country because they simply haven't been interested enough to find out the truth and if they are not interested enough to follow general politics from all sides, then they aren't going to be interested in anything I have to say.
