3 d. ago To halt the far right, Europe’s progressive parties must fix its housing crisis. Our research shows how | Tarik Abou

The mantra of ‘build, build, build’ misses something crucial: that few can afford these new homesHousing costs across Europe have become a growing burden for many households, both for those trying to buy and those trying to rent. Over the past decade, property prices have surged faster than incomes in many European countries.

Centre left can win broad support by addressing soaring house prices and rents, according to data analysisCentre-left parties can build a broad new coalition of support if they tackle Europe’s deepening housing crisis, researchers have said. Conversely, ignoring it risks pushing increasingly fed-up voters into the arms of the far right.Research by the Progressive Politics Research Network (PPRNet) suggests dramatic rises in the cost of housing over recent years have eroded support for centre-left parties – once the champions of affordable housing – and fuelled anti-establishment disaffection.
