Or one of the best, from their point of view.
Get lots of people owning property, and convince them that it is a valuable asset (hide the fact that if the price of property goes up consistently, then the increase in specific value of a property, doesn't go up, as you always need somewhere to live).
Then they will never support Labour because that means higher taxes which means more pain on a mortgage.
