Election Countdown

April 5, 2015

Another week closer to the General Election with just 32 days to go, we are now halfway through the four TV debates,   the two hour seven way debate that we had during last week never actually produced a clear cut winner, just a top four, Cameron, Farage, Sturgeon and Milliband.

Britain’s political landscape appears  at its most fragmented in decades, the pobability of any one party being in Governemnt from May 7th  appears very unlikely, a coalition of two or more parties ( Rainbow Coalition ) is now the expected outcome.

Which way we vote is now so important, especially if we are considering which party will benefit  property/housing the most,  commentators in the property Industry appear to be reporting  that the majority of agents would prefer to have a Conservative led government over a Labour led one, pointing out that Conservative housing policies would be overall better for the industry. What is your opinion of the policies put forward by each party and how will that affect the way you vote?
