Anyone attacking Labour's record on housing needs to PROVE that NACT are going to be any better. Going on their past performance they will probably sell off more social housing to help balance their books.
Look at the good post 4513 on this thread. It indicates very strongly that this huge increase in "need" for social housing is directly correlated to Labour's policy of releasing criminals into our society. So whatever you say about it, it is clear to most people that Labour's social housing policy is an absolute disaster and has achieved absolutely nothing other than drive up house prices and turn certain areas into slums. National & ACT will quickly reduce the demand for social housing by keeping criminals in jail, where they belong, which will hopefully make some houses available for unfortunate families that really need them.
