Strongly agree

No

The Conservative Party would largely agree with maintaining or even expanding the role of private rentals over public housing, consistent with their historical approach. The party has promoted policies such as 'Help to Buy' and incentives for private landlords, and has generally resisted large-scale investment in new public housing. Their 2019 and 2024 manifestos focus on increasing housing supply through private sector development rather than direct government provision of public housing.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Conservative Party has historically favored market-led solutions to housing, emphasizing home ownership and the role of the private sector. Notably, the Thatcher government's 'Right to Buy' policy in the 1980s encouraged the sale of public housing and a shift away from council housing. Recent Conservative governments have focused on supporting private rentals and home ownership schemes rather than expanding public housing. While there have been some acknowledgments of the need for affordable housing, a significant shift from private rentals to public housing is contrary to the party's longstanding policy direction.
