  1. For a long time, rising house prices has been a way of buying votes by manipulating the interest rates. Make sure the voters greatest asset increases in value! After the pandemic when the rent freeze ended, rents jumped. Thatcher’s “right to buy” and her destruction of the successful policy of council housing was a master stroke of vote buying, aided by the major house building firms always providing just not quite enough housing, thus stimulating prices rises by ensuring sacristy. All good neoliberal policies … until it finally starves its golden goose to death.
