A council house is owned by the state, a housing association house is in private hands.

ZIRP
Free council houses
Bungs to large property developers
That pretty much sums up Tory policy

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostIf you believe what they have said so far...
SNP won't go into coalition with the Conservatives or with Labour. The SNP won't prop up a minority Conservative government in a confidence and supply deal, but they would prop up a Labour one under certain conditions.
The Lib Dems won't go into a coalition with UKIP. UKIP won't go into a coalition with Lib Dems, even if they wanted to.
None of the recent polls give any way for a two party coalition involving the Lib Dems. For a two party coalition the only viable options (according to the polls) are Lab-SNP or Con-SNP and all three of those parties have ruled that out.
Personally, I think it's going to be a confidence and supply deal with Lab-SNP - I don't think the Lib Dems will rush into coalition again, because they need to try and convince people that they have their own identity still.
And unless the Conservatives are the biggest party after the election, Cameron is done.

Originally posted by d000hg View Postinformal Lab/SNP with Tories the biggest party seems most likely - certainly SNP will vote with Labour to bring down a Tory Queen's Speech at the very least. It seems the Tories will be the biggest party but will struggle to find enough friends to get what they need which, in my view, stinks.

So there is a need for more small properties with home office space.
