@mods do you think we should change the title so that it's clearer that now it's just predicting housebuilding?

@NathanpmYoung That’s what I would recommend.

@TomFinnie Would you mind editing the question title to remove the “If Labour are elected at the next general election”, since that condition has come true? You don’t have to, but I think it would make the question less confusing and more interesting to traders. You could also remove that N/A clause from the description.

While I agree an edit would help, I think it's important for the original question to be at least pointed to in the title so that you can interpret the past market price. I'd suggest moving the if clause into a parenthetical or something, and making sure the original details are preserved in the question as needed.

@jack Yes I agree with this

@PontiMin I guess yes no based on whether 1.5 mill houses built
