The reason why Labour were lambasted was the debt they had accumulated just before a crash, with the economy shrinking. No crash, no problem. It was just unfortunate for them they were left holding the baby when the music stopped.
The Tories have at least another 3 years, and judging by how the voting went, another 8 years most likely, in power to grow the economy. If after then we have another major recession and we have not got the spending/ debt under control, the Tories would not have their reputation to rely on.

I don't believe in their reputation for managing the economy any more than I believe in labour's ineptitude with it, it ticks along without any real input from them aside from some ideological posturing on the peripheries
