Do you not realise that: the more people buy houses, the more the demand for the houses goes up - ergo house prices can and will rise and we will be back in 2005.

Do you even know what you're ranting about?

The solution to the bubble disaster is - a bigger bubble to engulf it! It is not one of the preconditions of human happiness to own a house.

And I am sickened by the cynicism "oh shur der all basterts dem pollatishunz shut whot difrence does it make whose dere". That's because you haven't realised that political involvement is more than a quintennial crapshoot, that newspapers and TV actually have an agenda to push on you, and that our leadership could actually be a little bit better than whoever's sons managed to worm their way into the cabinet. You can't watch from the sideline and bitch about how nothing improves - educate yourself, involve yourself.

Even if the new Government should be no more competent, elections would bestow some sense of legitimacy on government action and would provide some sort of katharsis, and at least a feeling that things could turn around.
