absolutely disgusting

I am a naturally right wing voter(low taxation, tough on crime etc) but I am disgusted by this bribery here which seems to be prejudiced against people who privately rent. Selling off council housing is not the answer. I will not be voting in this election but i could not vote for a party with such a policy.

Surely if you don't vote you have no real right to moan?

It never was until the bitch started selling homes off, its the main reason we have so many who have no proper homes now.

It's a great idea. I can't see how anyone with the best interests of the poor in mind cannot approve of this.

Cameron's starting to walk in some legendary footsteps - if only he'd been bold enough to be more like Thatcher from the off the country would be in better shape and the election would have been won a long time ago.

See you have got your blue undies on again. :)
 
He just alienated everyone in the middle class that are having to rent and try and save for a deposit by giving people handouts.

As for the comment re : if you don't vote you don't get a say. That is as very linear view - if there are no options which you consider viable, that's even MORE reason to have a say ( and follow it up with action - which is something our system makes difficult)
 
70% discount!?
Mike Ashley would be proud.

I think we should all boycoutt this election, laughably low turnout that puts a question mark over the mandate to govern

Those who couldn't afford a house now can. It's quite simple.

What about those who cannot afford to buy a house but are also not eligible to be renting from a housing association and hence are renting privately? Where do they get a leg-up into the housing ladder?

I doubt it - it didn't happen last time.

I think most middle class voters get the whole "Give a man a fish...." concept.

So because a policy only helps some poor people but not all it's a bad policy? By that measure every single policy ever created is a bad one.

Just accept it for what it is - another step forward.

:D

I would rather they kept existing social housing owned by housing associations/local authorities and built more of them. Too many people are renting privately, paying way too much money for rent with very little security with their tenancy. More social housing would help some of them by allowing them to move into the social housing, whilst those left in the private rental market would benefit from the extra housing being rented at lower cost, which would help keep the prices of their rents down too. At the minute, it's all upward pressure on rents, and generally, people renting cannot afford too much upward pressure on the money they have to pay out in rent each month.
 
I'm a middle class private renter and have absolutely no intention of buying a house, I don't feel I'm in competition with everyone else, the govt can help other people and forget out me for a while, that's fine

if people want to buy a council house and this makes it easier, good for them, it's the most expensive thing you ever buy (probably) I'm sure it's very stressful, especially first time around

How do you define poor? Are those in Housing Association properties poor? Are those having to pay exhorbitant rents in parts of London and other Cities that equate to over 60% of their income poor?

What is the "step forward" in your opinion?
