Who's to blame for the current state of the UK economy?

Politics Home report some YouGov polling and includes two interesting pie (or should that be doughnut as the centre is missing) charts:


So the general public mostly see where the blame should lie, firmly at the door of the government that screwed the UK economy up over the last 11 years of its rule. However the idiocy of the Labour voters worries me; how can 26% blame a government in power for just over a year for the economic situation? are they so blinkered that they seriously believe that the Coalition can do anything other than try and resolve the appalling situation in which they find themselves? The 39% who blame 'global factors' are at least not so blinded by party loyalty that they must blame the Tories for everything. However only 3% of Labour voters are willing to ascribe any blame to their party in government; such loyalty in the face of all evidence to contrary must warm the cockles of Ed Balls and Ed Miliband's hearts...
