They never were the responsible party. It’s a myth. Your better informed now, than in the past. It’s the only thing that’s changed.
The conservatives control the narrative of politics and the media. Even when not in power. When Cameron came to power the media kept pushing the message that he has reformed the tories, they are no longer the nasty corrupt party. Rise and repeat the same thing will happen again. This is how the tories spend most of the time in power since working class people got the vote, despite labour being better reprentation of them and their issues. Even when not in power
Labour are still heavily influenced by the tories. Margret Thatcher said Tony Blair was her greatest achievement.
It’s insane people fall for this again and again. People that think government doesn’t work and is ineffective shouldn’t be chosen to lead governments. They won’t do a good job. Either they don’t believe it’s possible, they want bad governance or their ideological beliefs will prevent them from doing a good job. Instead this paradox has been labelled as ‘responsible’.

Yes, US republicans also claim to be more responsible with government finances and have had far right factions taking over the past 20 years or so
