Evil Diaries: Voting For A Purpose - Master Investor

Voting

I don't want to come across as disrespectful, but I find it funny how an elderly woman once said she doesn't vote because it just motivates politicians. It reminds me of when my father asked Sir Ronald Syme, a fellow classicist, how they should vote on a certain issue in Oxford's parliament. Despite the majority leaning one way, Syme suggested they vote against because not everyone can be right.

With that being said, no matter how large the Labour majority may end up being, it's likely to be a chaotic situation. The reality is that Labour has consistently left the country in a poor financial state, and I have a feeling they'll do it again this time. Unfortunately, the country has had the misfortune of being led by irresponsible leaders in the Conservative party, leading to the current disaster we are facing.

Brummer seems to always bring up the issue of foreign takeovers of London-listed companies in order to attract more readers to his column. He claims that Daily Mail readers would not support a historic company being acquired by a Czech company, but this seems unlikely. He is not being sincere in his arguments, but rather manipulative. The City Comment in today's Daily Mail talks about "the national interest," but it is unclear how this would be affected by a Czech company taking over. Brummer seems to be misleading his readers with his rhetoric.

Going back to the election topic, I see that some Labour party supporters want to regulate rents. This idea first appeared in the UK during DORA (the Defence Of The Realm Act of 1916). This led to many properties falling into disrepair because landlords saw no reason to fix them. After sixty years, many people made money by buying these properties, knowing that the government would have to change its stance.

One solution that should be considered is implementing a stricter process for approving building plans in order to increase the number of homes being built. This would help to increase the supply of housing available and limit the power of the NIMBY group, who try to prevent new developments from being constructed.
