Generational issues

Graham - your analysis brings to mind the slight frustration expressed by Teresa Gambaro when Kelly Hussey-Smith interviewed her for youdecide2007. She says she gets mixed messages from the electorate on this issue: on the one hand, everyone wants the value of their house to rise, on the other, they compain that their kids can't afford a place.  
 
What's certain is that younger voters - many of whom have only known one government - are the ones most likely to be affected by this. They are the ones staring down the barrel of asset inequality, and the difficulty of breaking into home ownership. They are the ones being asked to scale back their desires while boomers accumulate 2 and 3 houses as a form of "super".  
 
The real issue for me with Lindsay's comments is that it evinces a lack of sympathy for people - including his own constituents - who are looking at 400K as the first rung on the housing ladder.
