Overdue reform to feudal leasehold laws good example of why everything takes so long to get done: consultation paralysis. The new legislation may be needed-but holding another consultation *next* summer? Too much consultation (which protects vested interests) one of the big problems with our system.

Solicitor warned me about potential changes, but I said more MPs will have interests in freeholds than pay leasehold, so it most likely won't happen.
Thatcher bought Chester Sq with a short lease, but couldn't get changes through.
Parliamentary reform desperately needed, alongside better quality MPs
The government can just pass a law thru Parliament in couple of months if it really really wants a change, no?

It's another example of feudalism.
Exploitative & rewards greed.
I hope that the uncontrolled greed has now reached such a level that it is just about impossible for the government to ignore.
