Tories' idealism would quickly turn to realism

摘要

Property has had a severe attack of Conservative anxiety this week.A manifesto that appears to hand power to nimby councils and anti-immigration policies that could threaten the City of London's status are just the start.Add this to the Tories' long-standing opposition to business drivers, such as Heathrow's third runway, and a sector that is traditionally true blue is starting to waver.As for Scotland, with one Conservative MP out of 59, the opposition is seen as largely an irrelevance there.So how much should the property industry worry about the Conservatives 10 days into the election campaign? It is a good question to ask as we launch our comprehensive election coverage (analysis, p32-34).
