The logic of how it could damage the economy (in the form described) is sound enough... The reason that the "doom and gloom" is false is that it relies on the premise that Corbyn could come into power and make large sweeping changes to housing and other legislation on a personal whim... Which we all know is simply not the case. Our government is set up specifically to stop things like that from being possible.

Although like I said I do think some changes need to be made to private rental, given that it is increasingly how people are going to be living. Stable homes are vital.
