Post Brexit I see housing as the real litmus test. Even at this time when people are in financial dire straits house prices go up and up. Now that we have control over our borders, that's certainly one box ticked in terms of combatting a generation being priced out. My concern though is that while we've peeled away one layer of government (EU) control, it will still prove to be one layer too many. Our own politicians and parties are chock-full of those benefiting from keeping the average hard working man on the hamster wheel, and our sons and daughters spending decades paying off someone elses mortgage. If any party 'genuinely' intended to address this problem they'd have my vote.

The old red herrings are out in force tonight!

Saying something a million times doesn't make it right when it's wrong.

We weren't about to become part of a federal Europe. There was no such proposal on the table and no prospect of there ever being one, let alone of it being accepted. To raise it as an issue is naked scaremongering. Should any future UK government attempt to agree such a thing then I for one would stand shoulder to shoulder against it. It's not wanted and it won't happen. There is nothing inevitable about it. We would have to agree. We won't. End of!

Globalism has nothing to do with one government ruling the world, and mediocrity for all but an elite. Which far-right web site do you get these ideas from? It is actually just a way of describing the interconnected and interdependent modern world. Which truly is inevitable.

There are times when the whip is appropriate and times when it is not. A free vote on matters of conscience, like the death penalty, has always been the convention. Whether whipped or not, an MP can always ignore it. The issue is the penalties to their future career that they risk and it's those that need addressing, particularly at a local level.

MPs were free to support either "leave" or "remain" during the referendum campaign and this should have continued without any pressure.

The natural laws of supply and demand should prevail. Reduce the demand and prices will fall, it’s simple.

What I don’t agree with is artificially affecting the housing market in any way by some communist form of legislation that restricts property ownership. At the end of the day, if someone owns say 10 properties, they are not just leaving them empty, they are providing a much needed rental sector. Not everyone wants to buy.

If you want real change to the housing market then you need to change lots of things such as:

1. Remove excess demand. Controlling borders should help with this.
2. Build, build, build. Let’s get jobs, apprenticeships and the economy moving by government backed development. This should provide more rented and affordable housing and meet the new green technology requirements.
3. Stop foreign investment in the UK property market. Let’s have the people, the government and British business owning British property.
4. The principle of fair rent is not unreasonable and should return. It needs a lot of work though and re-implementing the old system would not be good.

There is lots that could be done and discussions on this could go on for days, however the basic principle is reduce excess demand by controlling the growth of population and increasing the supply of property. Simple economics will then make property affordable.

The property market is just one of many fantastic opportunities for this country to improve itself post Brexit.

There's still time to leave for you beloved EU.....You and Croydon could even get the same plane out.
