Now with that being said, every year the goverment is failing to meet house building quotes, in fact i don't think it matters what goverment or party we get in, its always going to be like this, torries, labour, libs or green party i think all of them will never meet these quotas.
Now i have nothing against immigration, infact i like living in a multicultural country however this is where my concerns are.
First, staying in the eu means more and more people will come to the uk to live, that means more and more strain on an already strained housing market, so in this regard staying in the eu will make it harder for me to obtain a house due to there being more demand.
Second, staying in the eu will mean more cheap labour, cheap labour will lower the basic living wage thus meaning i will earn less or more importantly i will earn more if i leave the eu.
Now i keep going over these two points i have made and i keep coming out with the same conclusion.
I will earn more and i will have less people to compete with in the housing market if i leave the eu, is this point correct?
I Also consider my niece that is just a year old and i think about her future and her prospect of her owning her own house in 20 or so years time.
