Agree

Yes

The Conservative Party has historically shown support for the construction of affordable housing, but its approach often emphasizes market solutions and private sector involvement rather than direct government intervention. For example, under the leadership of David Cameron and Theresa May, the party supported initiatives like the Help to Buy scheme, aimed at making housing more accessible, though critics argue these measures have not sufficiently addressed the affordability crisis. The party's support for incentivizing affordable housing construction is therefore moderate, reflecting a balance between market principles and the need to address housing issues.

Disagree

No

While the Conservative Party generally favors market-led solutions to economic issues, including housing, it does not strictly oppose all forms of government incentives for affordable housing. The party's policies and rhetoric often stress the importance of homeownership and increasing housing supply, but through mechanisms that involve the private sector and market forces rather than direct government subsidy. However, given the party's occasional support for schemes that effectively incentivize housing development, a strong disagreement with this statement would not accurately reflect their nuanced position.
