We have to judge the Tories on their record not the fantasy you are imaging up for yourself here.

The truth - the Tories have been in power for a few months and property is crashing the most on record. FACT.

Some would say thats not a bad thing and indeed, required for the economy to recover before things get better. Remember, the coalition throught their campaigning warned it was going to get much worse before it got better.

The fact that it doesnt fit in with your retirement plan, that I was right and you were wrong on the whole house price discussion is mildly amusing though.

You can suggest what you like. The truth is the truth - the Tories have caused a massive property crash because they have massively damaged consumer confidence.

I might have to agree with that - it's normal for consumers to have no confidence living under a Tory government!

The Expectations Index saw the biggest increase in August, rising by seven points to 84. This follows a fall of 43 points in the five months from February 2010.

There is nothing normal in expecting house prices to double every 6 or 7 years.
There is nothing normal in expecting the government to go on spending way more than it is taking in year on year.
Things were so badly managed that when reality finally hit, it caused all sorts of problems that could have been avoided.

Oh purlease.

I take it the tories can take the credit for the rise in the nationwide & land registry figures then?

Unlike the Tories who have only been in power 5 minutes and have provoked the biggest drop in property prices on record?

By doing what?

Why make things personal?

I don't actually care about property prices but only an idiot wouldn't have worked out that a fall in property prices will destabilize the banks.

.....but there is no doubt not GO (and his ilk) is an idiot!

Perhaps if they hadnt believed the previous 13 years of labour bullsh*t, expecting prices to rise year on year and creating an expectation that living on the plastic is a sustainable way to go forward, consumer confidence wouldnt have got out of kilt with fundamentals.
But with you being a socialist, I take it that point has been lost on you?

Whats the matter, bitter about a pending cut to your public sector/bbc non-job? Get over yourself love.

Fro LauraW10 slightly odd views, I would guess she is either a public sector worker or a professional claimant.
