Labour have not done well recently. However, the Tories are worse.
Firstly, the Tories alienated every single other country in Europe over the EU - they have no friends, no influence, and if the UK has no influence in Europe, it's got much less influence outside. I mean, if the Americans, Russians, Chinese or whoever want to sort stuff out, why speak to a country that's a pariah to the rest of the EU? Why should the US President have a "special relationship" with Britain, when it can't mediate between him and Europe? Basically, thanks for completely ruining the UK's diplomatic status and foreign relations before you even took power, David Cameron.
I mean, take the European Convention on Human Rights. It was inspired by no less than Winston Churchill, and drafted by another Tory MP, David Maxwell-Fyfe. It's a goddamn Tory document, and they want to scrap it from UK law and replace it with one saying exactly the same thing, except for Britain only, just because it's a 'European' Convention. That's how stupid the Tories are over Europe.
Secondly, what useful stuff have they to say about the crash? It is obvious to everyone (or should be) that the crash occurred because the banks screwed up. The government bails out the financial sector, and Cameron puts in a big speech complaining that the problem with the UK is an oversized public sector. I mean, wtf? The country was doing fine economically before, then the banks screw up, and suddenly it's the fault of the public sector?
I'd also suggest to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_university_conservative_association and also read up on the Bullingdon Club. That's where a lot of Tory top brass come from. I mean, youthful exuberance and all that, but... come on. I know people who work in parliament, and from the stories there, the Tories are often crude, sexist, racist and snobbish, just they're usually fairly good at not being so when it might get to the press. Just look at their Euro allies in their new EU grouping. The Tories complain about the BNP in Britain, whilst forming alliances with BNP equivalents in Eastern Europe. Scary stuff.
Note the increasing wing of Conservatives who are neo-Conservative - check up people like Daniel Hannan. We all remember what George W. Bush was like, and it's people who think his way of doing things was great that are on the rise in the Tory party.
The Tories are going to increase and accelerate the degradation of public services. They're going to make it much more expensive for students to attend university, which everyone knows disadvantages poorer students. They're going to freeze public sector pay, which means an inevitable decrease in staff quality in the public sector, and that means worse quality government and government services. They favour (more than Labour) "choice" ideology in the public sector, which essentially means those with the most means get better services, whilst the average declines. I mean, basically, if you like stuff like the NHS and various other public services being looked after, you will never, ever do better deal with the Tories in power. They'll chip away, dismantle, and fudge things away into the private sector. You can see elements of this in how they start banging on about charities. That's the key - the government takes the money away, and they hope the public stump up their personal wealth to charity to cover the gap.
The Tories are more Thatcherite than ever, or maybe just US Republican neo-con. They've just learned from New Labour how to hide it in a nice, friendly, PR-wrapped sugar coating. Come the election, I'm not just voting for whoever can stop them, I'm campaigning for whoever is most likely to stop them.
