And it's attitudes like yours that put people off voting Labour. The use of the word "torys" sum you up really. Glass half empty thinking.
Right to rule? The voters select who they want to lead.

A headline from the Conservative supporting Telegraph in 2013. The lesson? Be very careful about premature political obituaries
"It's two years away, but the 2015 election is already lost
Four factors conspire to make a Tory majority an outright impossibility"
I wonder how many NZ's use one of these. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/...lth.../410842/
First homes were invariably financed by the State Advances with a 3 or 5% mortgage. Have a section and no deposit was required. You only reverted to other institutions if you did not meet S.A. criteria.
Houses were basic compared with those turned out by developers today. Bare section, no fences, paths or landscaping. The developer can maximise profits by adding all the extras (required ?) today.
Big opportunities for Labour to go back to their roots and look after the ordinary family.
Little doesn’t have to speak like a BBC announcer he just needs policies which match the needs of working people.

That sort of policy helps no-one. Sounded good at the time, but think how much cheaper homes would have been without subsidies. Great example was the sweat equity scheme in the 80s. It was easy to get a package deal to a house that needed work. A similar age and style of house in immaculate condition was always cheaper.
