This is well worth a read:
The ‘too difficult’ box: Britain’s pre-election charades sidestep all the key questions
[Housing] So what should they be doing? One of the most successful moves ever to give householders security of tenure came in 1905 when Irish MPs, before independence, held the balance of power at Westminster. They drove a hard bargain with the then Whig government and forced, through the ‘Wyndham Land Act’, giving government loans on excellent terms so Ireland’s small tenant farmers could buy their farms outright and build decent homes on them.

The entire basis of ‘austerity’ cuts in services, that there is not enough money to go round in the world's sixth wealthiest nation is a bare faced lie. The reality is that we are being drawn ever deeper into a whirlpool of debt, doubling under David Cameron and now standing at £1.5 trillion. To attempt to repay it is folly; the bankers know it's a numbers game from which the pound, the euro and the dollar can never escape.

Bilderberg and the EU
When the Bilderberg Conferences began in 1954 few commentators realized the extent to which those invited to these secret gatherings of royalty, big business and banking would come to dominate economics and policy across the NATO countries. It was in Bilderberg’s secret conclaves that the European Union and euro were first mooted and where the first whispers were heard of the 1999 Kosovo and 2003 Iraq wars.
In the sixty years of its existence Bilderberg has grown as democracy has been withering on the vine. Which is hardly surprising since the participants hold the transatlantic purse-strings. It is largely due to their working in concert to buy into all the main political parties that governments have become an instrument of the banks, rather than the money system serving to oil the wheels of society.
The truth is today that unless Europe and America's political parties wake from their slumber their elections and parliaments are in danger of becoming a total irrelevance.

Our politicians appear to be sliding down the food chain and the military industrial complex and bankers fiercely defending the apex of power. When all the votes are counted at the 'mother of parliaments' on May 8, will anything really have changed?
