General Election 8th June – Who on earth do landlords vote for?
We are asking all landlords to complete this Poll.
Oops! We could not locate your form.
We are also extremely interested in your views so please post comments.
For example, you may well despise what the Conservative Government has done and you may well mistrust them but will any other party be better?
If landlords vote for minor parties might this hand a win to Labour?
Do you think a coalition Government is likely, and if so between which parties?
Which party would you least prefer to be elected and why?
Could not voting hand this election to Labour?

I ‘m not the person for this job, Mark. But I reckon we can get a few volunteers and field several candidates. We’ll probably have to set up a crowd funding page. First thing is to find some volunteers. I will ask Steve and can anyone think of anyone else who would be good for it?

Love them or loathe them we are stuck with voting Conservative, all the other main parties will hammer anyone who has achieved anything.
Throwing your vote away on Ukip is pointless, they can’t get in, you are just handing your seat to someone else. You will just put the Lib Dems or Labour in front, both of whom are out to bleed us dry and take away anything we have worked for. Labour would have landlords hung out to dry, and Lib dems would tax us into oblivion.
Conservative voters who don’t vote will cause the same result, and they will live a life without being able to shout, as you can’t moan if you don’t vote.

Ah but tactics are all important. The landlord candidate can instruct landlords to use their votes in the best possible way, say the day before the election. This could give us some leverage.

Could it be ‘the private rented sector candidate’? Would that dilute it or make it more powerful?

“Tenant Champion” an overt “Landlord” candidate will just get the usual vilification from the media and the general public.

If “we” put up a candidate in any given area, if only landlords in that area voted for the candidate they would have no chance of getting in. I am assuming there is no area with thousands and thousands of landlords.

The idea isn’t to get in; it’s to get leverage – to ‘own’ votes – a bit like in the 18th century I think!
