The UK government has won the last three elections on a backdrop of "we're going to cut spending still further to try and balance the budget" and voters supported that.

What they promised and what they delivered were two different things.

The deficit has halved. They promised it'd fall even faster than it did, but my point stands - democracy is not incompatible with responsible spending.
