2010年联盟为自己设定了一项挑战，即将空前迅速和深刻的裁员与公共部门的根本重组结合起来，两者都将在五年内完成。迫在眉睫的理由是假定有必要减少国家债务。更长期的目标是缩小政府规模，放开市场，让英国政治经济走上一条新的道路。
该方案遇到了一些挫折，有些要素似乎比其他要素更有可能实现。这篇文章考虑了联盟方案的目标和可能的结果，使用了一些来源的证据，包括与其他地方的紧缩经验的比较和对前几轮公共开支削减的分析。
The 2010 Coalition has set itself the challenge of combining an unprecedentedly rapid and profound retrenchment with a fundamental restructuring of the public sector, both to be accomplished within five years. The immediate justification is a presumed need to reduce national indebtedness. The longer-term goal is to shrink the state, free up the market and set British political economy on a new course.
The programme has encountered a number of set-backs and some elements appear more likely to be realized than others. This article considers the objectives of the Coalition programme and the likely outcomes, using evidence from a number of sources including comparisons with the experience of retrenchment elsewhere and analysis of previous rounds of public spending cut-backs.
