My understanding is that a sizeable proportion of MPs at this time held property portfolios so there could have been a conflict of interests. Added to this, there is also a significant influence from rich donors who again had their own agendas. Personally I think that politics needs to be cleaned up but I seem to be alone here.

The public has had a choice and has voted for austerity, increasing wealth inequality, Brexit, increasing personal debt etc. Since the 1980s the UK has lost most of the industry that it owned, its housing stock etc. Much of this is now owned by the wealthy including foreign investors and there is an increasing drain on the earning capacity of the public within the country, and on the country itself. This could be turned around but there seems to be no interest in doing so at present.
