More details

The average home in the UK costs £231,855. This represents approximately 10 years’ worth of earnings (after tax) for the average citizen. This in mortgage terms can equate to up to 30 years of work to own a home in this country. With wages expected to be stagnant over the coming years due to economic diversity globally, public/private listed funds owning properties to rent and provide shareholder income/capital growth is unsatisfactory.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
