Everybody Who Voted For The Tories Got Exactly What They Deserved

[MonsieurCopperCrutch]

I have zero sympathy for anyone on here who voted for the Tories and are now priced out of the housing market. You got what you deserved. Now suck it up buttercup.

Discuss.

[dugsbody]

I'm pretty sure that 90% of the people on this site who support the Tories already own their house. So they won't really care.

Said it before, it's like Turkeys handing you the cranberry sauce and stuffing saying, 'better get on whilst the oven is hot'.

With trade down due to Brexit there is going to be ever more reliance on the other main British industry.....HPI....at least until other sources of trade are devloped...in 25 to 50 years

And the Brexiteers who hoped Brexit would lead to a house price crash are wondering why that ain’t happened now that Pavel the plumber got replaced by 10x Guptas the Deliveroo drivers

Brexit is going to deliver a sh1t sandwich for the poorest.

[Gigantic Purple Slug]

The vast majority of people on here own their own houses anyway.

These days its more a moan about politics site with a small mix of hpc thrown in.

Unfortunately for the Labour supporting Tory haters it did largely start under Labour (prices tripled, see link below), and has carried on under the Tories, I doubt prices would have been affordable by now under them, or any other party, I think that's the point when mentioning these things:

Q2 1997 (New Lab get in power) - house price was £58k

Q3 2007  - house price 184k

Ain’t politics exactly what prevents a hpc? (And as seen in Ireland decade back be cause of it)

As someone with a big house and a healthy  pension fund they seem to have done rather well for me. That said, i don't support BoZo and definitely didn't vote for Brexit.

I'm think those that did vote for Bozo for the first time may be the ones who have bern screwed most!

I voted Labour in 1997 and bought a house for 115k the same year. Sold it for 245k in 2002...

Love to be reminded of why I block half the cretins on this forum now though.

[poohbear]

Owned my own home since aged 18,ok mortgaged,and mortgage paid off at 38.

As much if not more than any of you I can see the cost of housing has crippled so much in the way of life.

Its been this way for at least 20 years.

Neither Labour or the Tories are going to crash house prices voluntarily.

Most of their policies will focus on making the unaffordable affordable, and with policies such as QE people will lap it up, because they don't care about the long term cost, only what they can get now.

Labour probably have a higher probability of crashing the market, not by design but through incompetence. In that scenario though it will be economic devastation, and people who have some sort of hope that they may be able to capitalise on it may find themselves sucked into a swirling mess of economic destruction, no matter how clever they think they have been.

A nationwide program of general needs social housing is the only thing that will save the UK from bankruptcy. To relieve the acute demand pressure in the private rental sector caused by mass immigration and to support the economy while house prices correct and the private sector deleverages.

There is no alternative. 👇

i voted for Brexit not tory. 

now i won`t bother voting at all. 

[Huggy]

I voted Conservative in 2019. Nothing too surprising about that. I don't like commies and I respect democracy. Looking at who was available, of course I would 😄

But, in December 2019, we had one of the most dangerous attempts on the life of democracy in this country than we had faced in 80 years. The result of a single vote not being enacted would have destroyed all that had been fought for before.

Then we also had comrades Corb and McD. Luckily we now know that they had not a cat's chance in hell of winning, but it felt like a danger at the time. My hand did not waver, pause, or even tremble when I voted blue at that moment.

The fight back then was actually the equivalent of World War II and the Cold War all happening in one day that December, and it was a storming victory for Boris Churchill and Nigel Thatcher. The country had won, democracy had won and (maybe more importantly), communism had ironically been spanked red raw.

My happiness meter was at a solid 100/100 then. Life could not get better.

And then the dark times came. House prices increased by 9% in the year after. Something I wasn't going to buy remained as something I wasn't going to buy, and my happiness meter plummeted to 97.5/100. Damn.... 😂
