They have far exceeded my expectations so far.
They have been far more radical in plans to cut the deficit, the NHS, student fees and a number of other areas.
It is just a shame they have to govern in coalition so other measures to restore Britain's competitiveness (like getting rid of the 50% tax rate) are more problematic.

Disappointed but don't regret it. They are the worst of a bad bunch. Think of them as being the most polished turd.
Come to realise that when it comes to voting we should just accept that there is very little difference between the main parties and simply vote for the one who will do the least damage to the country. Anything extra and its a bonus.

I voted for the Tories and don't regret it. Something had to be done with this country and they are working on it.
No matter who we got we would all be feeling the pinch eventually. The only thing that has affected me is the VAT and Fuel duty increase.
I still have a job, didn't get a pay reduction.
It's not all bad, there are far worse off people in the world.

Answered yes but have reservations.
I'm massively against cutting Nimrod and Harrier, I'm sure there are other inefficiencies within the whole MOD and/or Government machine that could be cut first.
I've never been a fan of Cameron and remain utterly unconvinced, though he's certainly amusing at PMQs.
Edited to add that I would have voted for a rock rather than Labour.

I just love those that consider all the options before voting
If you voted tory just to remove labour then your an idiot
Alright then genius, how else would you have removed Labour???If you voted tory just to remove labour then your an idiot
Anything other than Tory or even possibly Lib Dems is a wasted vote.
Do you think that Labour should still be in power? Please say you do, then we can point and laugh.

What exactly would have been different had the Tories been elected unanimously?
We wouldn't have a bunch of people, who only got elected because a lot of their supporters would have been turkeys voting for Christmas if they hadn't, trying to stir s
t when everyone else is trying to dig us out of the mess they put us in in the first place.I'm not impressed by them TBH. The child allowance 45k blunder, if you are a couple on 80k you still get it. Cameron proudly claiming a victory in Eu contributions when in fact nothing had been finalised, and we were still paying more. The mess of the SDSR, some forces personnel were hearing of their job cuts from the TV. The cuts have left us with great holes in our defences. The US were concerned enough to contact the government about it.
The sports budget was cut, then a uturn was done after a public backlash. The fiasco with Camerons dodgy Press bloke which is still running.
Add to that it appears we are heading for a double dip recession means that perhaps things are not going as well as they should be.
It was always going to be tough sorting out the previous mess. I think Cameron is losing touch with his party, he has lost a lot of support from the armed forces, and when the cuts start really hitting in a few months time things re going to get interesting. Next time I don't think I'll vote for any, they are all as bad as each other.
