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.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition 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.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. 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 United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

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 culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year 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 the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
