49.8% yes vote.

Average wage / house price ratio is double (or more) from when I (boomer) took a first step on the property ladder.
I remember being offered a 100% mortgage on a 3.5 times multiplier in the mid-70s. Now: you need a mortgage 9.7 times average salary.

It wasn't a by election loss to Reform.They lost seats to Lib Dem & Green. AND they're in government, so always take a drubbing in locals.
