Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

We'd like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum. This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are - or become - political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

By way of interest, I have done the same calculation for FY 2009-10, the last year Labour were in power:

UK Tax Revenue: £528,900,000,000
UK Government Spending: £687,900,000,000
New debt: £159,000,000,000
National debt: £1,156,200,000,000

As you can see, the Conservative Government has reduced the deficit by increasing taxes pretty dramatically while holding down the rate of growth of Government spending.

Obama has recently intimated that if Cameron takes Britain out of the EU, then the US will lose interest in the UK, business-wise (as I thought would happen!)
