A Conservative voter in south east London is voting Labour in the upcoming local elections to prevent the Green Party from winning. The Green Party's manifesto includes demands for 35% affordable homes and rent controls, which the author believes would harm London's housing market. Labour is projected to win 34% of the vote, while the Greens are projected to win 31%. The author argues that rent controls have failed everywhere they have been tried and would be damaging to the rental market. The housing secretary recently dismissed Labour's shadow chancellor's suggestion of a one-year freeze on private rents, citing Scotland's experience. The author believes that the Greens' policies and personalities make them unfit to run the council.
