Yes. Only Tories live in large houses, politicians of all other hues live in terraced houses near t'pit with their whippets and flat caps.

Ed Miliband has made a series of shrewd moves in the housing market, which have made him more than £100,000 in profit and taken him to a £1.6million house in a leafy area of north London.
He and his brother, David, signed a “deed of variation” along with their mother, Marion, following the death of their father Ralph, an influential Marxist academic, in 1994.
This gave them each a 20 per cent stake in the four-storey house in Edis Street, reducing the inheritance tax eventually payable on the estate.

Tax avoidance from the labour leader? Tut, tut, tut.
The refusal of introducing a mansion tax is a less to do with trying to help Tory donors and more to do with it being a crap idea.
