I'm not convinced that BoE calculator tackles house prices. I think it's only goods and services - e.g. I think 465k in 1997 would buy you the same amount of bananas as £929k would now. but it can't include house prices. Or bitcoins or shares or other investments. -
It's really not that complex. There are some long standing Green Party supporters whose primary concern is the environment (who deplore hatred). There are some left leaning centrists who are disappointed with the Labour party's performance in government who are looking for an alternative socialist party to vote for. And there are some rabid antisemites who used to get away with that in Labour but found themselves homeless after the EHCR decided Labour was guilty of unlawful discrimination. It's pretty simple actually.

It's not taxes on motoring. It's taxes on value. The problem for you, and for the government, is that those taxes increase the cost of living exponentially. It doesn't matter whether you buy fuel or not. Everything else you buy relies on someone else who does buy fuel. I'm amazed you can't see that.

Nope, it was because she thought people who owned houses were good Tories. Yes, she didn't want workers being represented by workers. She believed that the individual should take responsibility for their own pay and conditions, whether that was possible or not. I'll talk more about the lessons of Thatcher another time, one of my faves is energy policy (ie let's use much of our North Sea gas to generated electricity rather than save some for future generations....) From AI (a longer piece on objectives, pros and cons so there is some sort of balance) Ideological Transformation & Voting Patterns: By turning working-class, often Labour-voting council tenants into homeowners, she sought to shift their political loyalty to the Conservative party, which she believed was rewarded.
