That's correct - as long as she can't shrink the government and reduce spending. From my experience, governments rarely get something done, so it's unlikely she will have enough political power to cut the government down. I'm not following the UK news, but it sounds to me like she cut down taxes to create an emergency situation and force the political apparatus to cut down on spending or face record high debt. Hats off if it works: if it doesn't, I think western governments are doomed to grow larger and larger until their host country collapses, productive people flee somewhere else and who's left will rebuild a smaller government from the ashes starting the cycle again.
