    So what part of my statement appears to be untrue and therefore something I would be in denial about ?

    You are in denial about being in denial. Don't try to deny it either. :)

    I provided an answer to the question posed.
    I tactfully suggest it is you who is participating in subterfuge. :)

    Oh right, so you say something and you get accused of something else, then you call people strange?

    I guess you would find other people rather bizzare from your world :)

    So let me get this straight, you believe that our current economic state is based on sound fundamentals that will improve as we go into the next parliament ? By sound fundamentals I mean

    Unemployment falling.
    IR's to fall or credit to become cheaper and widely available.
    Taxes to fall.
    Inflation in commodities such as oil etc to remain low as demand ramps up.
    Healthy public finances.

    You are attempting to change the ball park. This is different to the continual growth statement in post 2. You fail to understand house prices are valued in terms of pieces of paper.

    The money supply has always gone up in the long term. While this is the case so will house prices.

    House prices will rise as long as population does, and the rate of housebuilding lags population growth.

    The population will need jobs to earn money to pay rent or mortgages.

    The minimum wage for many will limit what they can afford. Though this wont stop housebuilding as there will still be a profit for developers.
