If Labour won in 2010, austerity would of still have happened, and with UKIP becoming the 3rd party by 2015, then the Tories would offer an EU referendum by 2020 leading to a later Brexit.
Alistair Darling admitted that Labour was planning cutbacks in public spending had it won the 2010 election. But the cutbacks would have been nothing like the scale of the "austerity" programme of George Osborne.
