That is probably the best political line of attack at the moment. Fuel bills are going through the roof due to price fixing and that sort of thing and meanwhile the housing market is taking a dive. We will shortly be hearing lots about negative equity, as in The Times they show a block of flats, each one now worth £50 000 less than people recently purchased them for. So people are going to be short of cash, some will inevitably loose their homes and so that cash might just be make or break for them.
How many saw this coming? I figured it would come since it was not likely that energy cartels would be spending money pushing green propaganda if there was nothing in it for them. They can merrily fix their prices and expect the EU regulators to be soft on them as long as they had put enough of their money into promoting the EU's favourite rip-off. See how the 10p tax has been such a big issue even though it did not make a great deal of difference to people's income the issue is that a lot are struggling even now. Mortgage companies have lent 6 times the borrower's salary, it was traditionally always 3.5 times. Brown is going down because of the economy and I think the greens could end up the same way.
