Carryon Regardless Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 That's a lot of power should there be a real united effort to challenge legislation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melboy Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 There are approximately 56 million people living in the UK and the politicians still pass stupid laws that affect us all so I wouldn't hold your breath on expecting politicians to act sensibly when it comes to Landlord's or the rental market.

Carryon Regardless Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Not without a strong voice of opposition anyway. I see that we will continue to be a target for each politician that wants to gain a few browny points with the masses. Just look at Millibrains latest attempt to gain votes, successful or not it's still at our cost. I became anti union back in the 80's when I saw their destructive style but there is a valid purpose for them if managed with good ethics. So why do the RLA fail to fail to effect reversal of biased gov't attempts? Would they be better and stronger if more, like me, swelled their membership? Do we have other and better options? Is it time for a new LL's group to speak out / cause action in defence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
