Yes, this will help reduce wealth inequality in the UK

Agree

No, but implement the tax on foreign owned property

While the Liberal Democrats have not specifically proposed a tax on foreign-owned property, they have shown concern about foreign investment in the UK housing market. In 2014, they proposed a policy to increase the stamp duty on foreign buyers of UK property. This suggests that they might be open to the idea of targeting foreign-owned property, but their primary focus has been on a broader mansion tax.
