When regulatory capture occurs, a special interest is prioritized over the general interests of the public, leading to a net loss for society. The theory of client politics is related to that of rent-seeking and political failure; client politics "occurs when most or all of the benefits of a program go to some single, reasonably small interest (e.g., industry, profession, or locality) but most or all of the costs will be borne by a large number of people (for example, all taxpayers)".

Dorkins Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It really doesn't matter who the housing minister is, they are all told not to rock the boat and the appointment is based on loyalty to the leader rather than any kind of competence/interest in housing. Their only job is to turn up for a high viz photoshoot on a building site with the PM/Chancellor of the Exchequer once a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a revelation that when you vote in the party of landlords. Still any Brex_hiteers currently renting out there who voted in this clown show just have to find an additional £80,000 to buy an average house.

Housing ministers were largely judged on how many state homes they could build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, also, most politicians believe that the majority of the UK wants HPI forever (I don't think they are right) so they will never fix it.

Ball locks, they want the free money themselves. As soon as become mps they are incentivised to buy a massively overpriced flat in London, at that point they won't be voting for house prices to collapse. The banker establishment know what they are about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Larry Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's all very 1984 The Ministry of Truth is the ministry of lies ; the Ministry of Peace oversees war; the Ministry of Plenty opens foodbanks ; and the Ministry of Love tortures political dissidents. In that context the ministry of housing focuses on making people homeless so the new incumbent maybe an ideal appointee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocha Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Some appear to have forgotten the Labour years 1997 - 2010 with regards to what happened to the housing market and the ponzi scheme they created and encouraged. There was sod all opposition from the tories during this time and from 2010 onwards I'm not aware of any serious labour opposition to all the tories have done in this regard either. Party tribalism when it comes to the housing market suits the blue scum and the red scum, whilst achieving sweet FA. Both parties need holding to account for the last 2 decades.

Labour's 2019 manifesto promised to increase the rate of construction of council + housing association housing to 150k per year within 5 years, basically returning to the pre-1980 norm of the state being a major provider of new housing. https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/13218_19-Housing-Manifesto-v4.pdf There was an opposition to the status quo.

If housing was plentiful then the demand side props would have little effect. Just look at house prices in most of northern England, exactly the same props apply there as in London/SE but because there is a lot of supply relative to demand housing is much more affordable.
