  M.Thatcher didn't replace the council houses she had sold, Barry, thus crippling affordable housing.
  This contributed to the sky-rocketing of house prices, as so many people had no council housing to turn to, and the demand for private renting and house-buying went up.
  
  But so many people who set out to buy a house cannot afford the rates at some point.
  
  Politics is largely to blame, reason for which the two main parties have decreased in membership from about 3 million each in the 70s to little over a hundred thousand.
  Politics should be kept out of economy, which should rather be governed by a Statute of Economy.
  
  Such a Statute would ensure, for example, that houses are affordable and priced following a logic. Economy must be accountable.
  Politics among most parties UK is based on elitism and snobism.
  Hence we have a private family living in palaces galore and acclaimed as "head of State and of Government".
  
  All the rest is a knock-on effect from this initial anomaly. It's the top-down effect.
