Will Tories pledge house prices will never fall?
Reading this story I thought an obvious vote-winner for the Tories, and one which they seem to think is possible, would be to pledge that under a Conservative government the Halifax House Price Index will never show a monthly decline.They could link it to large gates at Dover. If the Halifax House Price Index started to head towards showing a monthly rise of less than 0.5%, the gates would open and let millions of immigrants flooding in, thus boosting the housing market. When the HHPI (I'm not typing it again) rose above 1% monthly gain, the gates could start to shut, and a 2% they could become electrified. The Houses Immigrant Price Stabliser (HIPS).
