question for bulls and bears

Also, re the OP, I think you've entirely got the wrong end of the stick. Whilst historically the non-homeowners (which I think is what you mean by 'bears' on here - am I right?) were the party that supported Labour, and the Tories were traditionally the party of Property ie the bulls on here, now however, posters like chucky, or scarter above, think Labour is great, because it's utterly shafted its own core voters, and shows no sign of reversing that judgement.

Whilst many of the so-called 'bears' on here are actually the most right-wing.

Contrary to Stevie's bizarre characterisation, I'm probably one of the very few 'bears' on here (Pobby's another) who'd still regard themselves as left-wing - whilst bemoaning what Labour has allowed to happen in terms of house prices and tenants' rights.

It was just a perception i got on here that those wanting price falls tended to be labour voters. But it was labour who had let prices rise.

Seems i am wrong though judging by the responces, ho hum:o

In reality you are right I think. Most BTLRs etc are probably Tory suporters in general and most people who are renting are Labour suporters. What is happening though at the moment is that in the short term anyway Labour are more likely to keep prices high due the help they are giving to support the economy and help Homeowners who can't pay their mortgages. On the other hand the Tories are likely to take some of the support away so prices may fall.

The issue is though are you going to support a party you do not really believe in for some short term gain. I dont think many will be able to bring themsleves to do it. Though one person on here has admitted they probably will support Labour because of it.

Labour's certainly hoping more will sell their political souls in return for a pretty pre-election mirage that our children and quite possibly grandchildren will be paying for many years from now.

Will it work?

I doubt it.
