Lmao. I can’t believe we’re in a situation where even the fucking Greens support abolishing landlords while Your Party has a landlord as party secretary.
There should be a new party called The Actually Liberal Party who just do what Your Party it’s supposed to do, but won’t do due to terrible organisation.
Starting with rent controls and abolishing Right to Buy, a future Green Party-led government would also tax landlords via business rates on Airbnbs and double taxation on empty properties.
Under the proposals, the party would also end Buy to Let mortgages and give councils the Right to Buy when landlords sell properties, when the property doesn’t meet insulation standards, or when a property has been vacant for more than six months.
Carla Denyer, Green MP for Bristol Central, sought to stress that despite the motions “eye-catching” title, “it does not actually ‘abolish’ landlords”.
The taxing empty property 2x is smart.
Clearly someone recognised that as soon as they gain power. A lot of land lords would start refusing to rent. In the hope of creating a housing shortage and forcing the gov to reset.
The taxation forces them to either rent or sell. And sell at a reasonable price given changes in the market.
It prevents wealthy property owners trying to hold the gov hostage.
My first thought was, “there’s a Landlords Party?”
If there are no more landlords then there is no more private renting? Where will people be able to live while they build up a deposit?
Break the house price into weekly deposits so that after 20 years you then own the house.
Basically renting should give you a percentage of ownership instead of just going to the landlord.
I mean that’s what a mortgage is. Who’s underwriting that?
Just in time for Corbyn to split the left vote because he can’t bear the thought of anybody else being in charge.
