Most voters wrongly think Sunak's halving inflation pledge would stop prices going up, poll suggests

But potentially a more serious problem is that the pledge has created unrealistic expectations. Halving inflation will not mean that prices go down. But when Survation asked people what it would mean in practice, most people wrongly said that the pledge would either mean prices going down (32%) or staying the same (31%). Only 23% said that this still meant prices would go up.

I don't think they do, and even if they did I don't think they are necessarily wrong.

This is supply side inflation, not demand. Best way to inceease supply is investment.
