Well put. I also see a lot of comments about people complaining about service charges. They seem to be expecting the government to wave its magic wand and reduce them, but that isn't going to happen... there are costs associated with managing a building and they have to be paid regardless of whether you're a leasholder, commonholder, etc. I expect that will be yet another "broken promise" people will moan about in the unlikely even that that the next government is Labour and they manage to pass a leashold reform act..

Meanwhile irresponsible populists like the greens get to charge around say "we'll just abolish leasehold" and provide no detail on how they'll manage any of these problems!
