The 2024 Global Election and House Prices

This UK parliament must be dissolved by 17th December 2024, in just under 15 months.

Parliament can be dissolved sooner than this if the ruling Conservative party so chooses. 

Polling day would be expected 25 working days following this. Let us say that polling day will be sometime close to the end of 2024.

Now then... whichever party wins the election will:

  1. take credit for the housing boom, at the height of its manic boom phase by then
  2. be blamed for the great recession 2 years later

So, given history testifies repeatedly to this and makes it reasonably predictable, we'll be able to tell which of the two sides in the uni-party 'understands' the demands of the electorate the most.

That 'wiser' side will be the one which boosts homeowner profits the most with enticing election policy - to buy votes.

Both sides will also be aware that both the young and first time buyers are politically irrelevant in the game of buying votes in exchange for house prices - representing only 10% of the electorate. Of course they can never say this publicly and will continue adopting help to buy and mortgage guarantee programs for them. The net effect of which is to raise house prices even more. So its clear there is no genuine intention to help the young if the effect is to raise house prices yet more out of reach for them.

Likewise for tenants who represent only another 20% if you understand most of the young are tenants already.

This side of the uni-party also knows that both these 'constituencies' do not really bother voting anyway - what is there to vote for unless you own a house? Mere trinkets of planet saving and political correctness are all that remains to vote for. 

This is very much how democracy has always worked, and pre-democracy prior to the first world war,  where the lords voted by proxy for their tenants. I laugh when people say "no taxation without representation".  Homeowners are always represented, in spite of taxation. Because real estate is tax free in the end, what better representation could one ask for. And tenants pay most of the taxation and have never been represented evidently.

So watch each side in the uni-party duality, jostle like the excellent salesmen they are, to see who can deliver the policy which boosts house prices the most, whilst not making it too obvious. The best politicians sell their representation for your house price vote, the party is no longer relevant. This is democracy. 

Also watch out for the Tory's and how they will time it - obviously they don't want to shoot their load too early or too late. Right now it feels like they're waiting, still with plenty of time, for the right moment, given the current but fake government induced cost of living crisis. They cannot control what happens elsewhere in the world enough to be sure yet. All they can do is strategically place house price boosting policy here and there in the mean time as global events play out.

The really interesting thing is the US presidential election will happen on 5th November 2024 - fireworks night in the UK! So how will this direct the timing of the UK election?

Given the US economy is the foundation of the global economy, all rooted in real estate through mortgages, both elections coinciding will be quite a spectacle.

Not to mention how it will affect the world politically and economically. As always, if you own real estate, free from debt, your household will be fine.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge.  They knew this. They did not know why it...
