The facts dont bear out those statements though and it doesnt seem like its working for the Tories.

The Tories are using austerity and associated arguments as a means of dismantling and restructuring the state to keep the establishment in place and to reduce the opportunities and educational and social capital of the majority of the community.

But you wont find those arguments in the Murdoch press or the right wing BBC. Suggest a little more critical reading might help.
