Tory manifesto to extend right to buy
April 14, 2015
The Conservative manifesto that is being lauched today will be including an extension to the right to buy, they will be announcing that they will be extending the near 35 year old right to buy your council home that was initially introduced by Margaret Thatcher in the early 80’s to include the 1.3 million housing association tenants.
David Cameron is hoping to regain the initiative back from David Miliband by proclaiming the Conservatives as “the party of working people” In recent days the polls are showing Labour as ahead in the polls over the Conservatives.
The policy was immediately denounced by housing associations, which claimed the move would deter them from building new homes, such plans may encounter some stiff opposition as the Conservatives would be proposing to sell homes they do not own.
