Not really. Her corruption and attempts to broaden the support alliance with public sector unions was a significant factor in that snap back.
If Redford is more like Thatcher there is little need to claw back territory for simple conservatives. But she wasn't an austerity champion, she was making deals with unions and building palaces in the sky. Easy mark.
