Some policies to redress the balance will see voters punish them at the ballot box. Chris has already pointed out what happened to the Tories when they said house value should be used to help pay for social care, rather than the taxes of the following generations. If the government were to do anything to stop inflating house prices, drastically increasing supply for example, they would be punished too.

I have a plan for that which would lead to praise for the government.

Swathes of government land can be used to build homes. They would sell it to developers with strict conditions on quality, price and margin for the developers. That would take land prices out of the equation and bring land prices down, etc.

Ib one of Boris' lot cares to contact me .....
