One in eight MPs is a Landlord; as the majority party its perhaps unsurprising that Labour has the most (currently) with 43 MPs receiving rental income for properties they own.
Expecting a Parliament with this number of Landlords to reform the housing market would seem to be optimistic.
The landlord interest in Parliament is neither insignificant nor unproblematic!
MPs are around three times more likely to be landlords than we are, they're not like us!
