Abstract

Chapter 2 considers the records of the Coalition Government and the Labour opposition from 2010 to 2015. The chapter looks closely at the Coalition Agreement and the policy proposals which accompanied it, particularly with respect to the economy and the austerity strategy pursued by the Coalition Government. Comparisons are made of the evolving policy goals and forecasts made just after the 2010 election with the economic outcomes that actually occurred. Policy-making and performance outcomes regarding immigration, welfare and the NHS also are examined
