I guess that most of think that we're here only here once (unless you're a devotee of reincarnation) and we strive to do the best for ourselves and our families.
The opportunity to get onto the housing ladder is tough at best and despite socialist/humanitarian personal views that take in the greater whole, we allow personal ambitions to take over.
In the long term, the loss of social housing has made and will continue to make life so difficult for many of us.
Home ownership is undoubtedly a big carrot to dangle.
On local issues it is far easier to vote with our conscience and personal beliefs.
The real world versus the idealistic one........
