Elgrande has said on more than one occasion (I paraphrase) 'That's a good idea' or 'I could support that'. Quite why he'd then vote for someone else who doesn't support the idea, or even in fact the complete opposite shows how 2 years of 'Corbyn is unelectable' (without basis in fact - or if any half truths) from the media and sections of the PLP has affected his faculties. In fact I'd wager that elgrande isn't alone in thinking that the Labour manifesto is rather good but have been duped against voting for them. Edited by nickgusset (12 May 2017 4.49pm) Where do you get off gusset trying to put words or even thoughts in my head. I make my own mind up about voting with out being led by either side. So give it a rest.

That would be unworkable. Fact is. As taxpayers we are lining a lot of people's pockets through housing benefits covering extortionate rents. Notwithstanding this, just because you might think it's unworkable doesn't mean we should shrug shoulders and let it carry on. At least Corbyn said Labour will do something about it, let's wait and see the detail before dissing the idea.

I agree with the housing benefit part,but as you say let's wait and see,maybe he can finance it through the corporation tax rises

I'm a swing voter if anybody can answer the question I had earlier or, if they can't, explain to me how the only thing that matters isn't the vast government debt and our trade whopping deficits? People get really involved in the `operational' side of politics: should we privatize the NHS, should we ban Johnny Islam from our shores etc. etc. etc. But I honestly don't get it, and it impedes my passion for the rest of politics. Why doesn't any debate have to be about our deficits at the start? If somebody can explain to me (and I'm being absolutely sincere here) why they're not by a country mile the most important detail, I will be genuinely grateful. Yes, yes, I appreciate this shows me up to be a thicko.

The housing crisis and high rents and high house prices is caused by a number of things. Mass immigration has obviously not helped. Housing Benefit has led to very high rents - a bonanza for landlords. The great difficulties in getting planning permission to build new houses. The Bank of England in cohorts with the Government setting artificially low interest rates. The dearth of council and co-ownership housing. Left alone, the construction industry and the market place would redress things. Edited by hedgehog50 (12 May 2017 5.43pm)
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |
