Why?
They won't be in power until it nearly ends.
Unfortunately just like our economy seems cyclical so does our voting of the main political parties.
Edited to say: I wrote the above before reading the article. I wonder what drugs some Labour MPs are taking.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

Another housing boom around the corner? You couldn`t make it up!!!!!!!0

Quote: She said she had heard evidence of recovery from some estate agents, and questioned why banks were not reacting to signs of revival of the market.
What a load of twaddle, yes estate agents may have lots of enquiries, but most of them are from people who are in no position to obtain a mortgage...she needs to read the posts on the mortgage forum here ie "FTB in debt management now rates are low can i get a 100% mortgage on interest only!!"..........Strengthens the case for more social housing and why the right to buy was so wrong........0 -

She warns would-be first-time buyers not to delay in the hope of further price falls, because “when the upturn comes, there will probably be a mad rush”.
Sounds like a boom to me

Desperate attempt to revive the Labour party's fortures in light of poll ratings.
"A YouGov poll for The Sunday Times shows that the Brown “bounce” has faded and the Tories have surged into their biggest lead since early October, before the banking rescue revived the prime minister’s ratings.
The Tories are up by four points to 45% since last month, with Labour down three on 32% and the Liberal Democrats slipping from 15% to 14%. The Conservative lead has more than doubled in a month from 6% to 13%."
Soooooooooo much spin in MB's comments........ :mad:0 -

Sounds like a tactic of this stupid goverment
People will read it and think they are missing out so will rush out and buy.
Damn I hate the Labour Goverment....even more now for believing estate agentsIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
