I would agree with one exception. What you're talking about is impossible given the current political situation.
1. We have a minority government
2. We have to deal with 3 left leaning parties.
It's a recipe for not getting everything that you want done.
Time for a majority government
While I would generally agree, the position of the Conservative government (weak minority) is such that they basically can't do anything but what they are. Minority governments are bigger governments. This is why proportional representation leads to bigger government.
As such, I can't really fault the government for doing what it's doing, even though I don't like it. Only majority governments can truly be held responsible for their behaviour.
