While it is true that some members of the Monetary Policy Committee do seem determined to cut rates to stimulate general economic activity, there is no getting away from increasing inflation. The target for the MPC to aim for is 2%- inflation is currently at 2.3% with signs that it will continue to creep up. Whatever the short term response it seems likely that interest rates will have to increase in the medium term to bring inflation under tighter control.
As for economists, have you never heard the saying, "If you laid all the world's economists end to end, you still wouldn't reach a conclusion". I think common sense is called for - if housing is priced beyond the means of those who are expected to buy it, then clearly a correction will have to take place at some point. The only point of debate really is when and by how much. That I accept is anyone's guess!
