    Sadly, me thinks it is going to get worse before it gets better.

        OP : Thank you for not having the pointless Andyw option which skews results and makes the polls pointless.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Just think of the AndyW option as voting Lib Dem.

              My choice was based upon assuming the "Don't know" option is AndyW.

                    I think we have seen the worst or very close to it.

                    Commodity prices are starting to drop back and will continue to decline slowly leading to a drop in the inflation figures.

                    Inflation may hit 5% but will drop back from that over the next 6 months on the back of lower commodity prices.

                    Lower inflation will give the BoE room for rate cuts, possibly before Christmass, giving the economy a boost.

                    With the pound weakening exports will improve giving the economy a further boost and help to stave off unemployment which so far has not shown a consistant upward trend.

                    The house price crisis isnt really a crisis at all. It has largely been generated by hysteria in certain media outlets.
