I think it’s their crazy common law system.

    What’s up with this graph, it’s nice that they went back in time from 1995 too but since they’re stacked from there you can’t know which lines belong to which individual country. Remains interesting to see that two distinct blocks formed over time. I guess Brits will feel some extra bregret watching this.

      Honestly Brexit is the least of these problems and all this shit will happen to you too. Angloids just tend to be ahead of the curve. “It can’t happen here” is how it happens in the Netherlands, trust me your fancy bike infrastructure and picturesque villages while great, isn’t safe from this either. It’s only a matter of time before memetic virility jumps language lines.

        You’re obviously not in the loop, major housing crisis going on already. But because it across the board it doesn’t necessarily translate to extreme housing prices (although they’ve been getting steeper for years now).

          I’m pretty aware of the housing prices, what the fuck does that have to do with anything? You were talking about “bregret” which sounds like a dig at Brexit? The housing crisis has zero to do with that - and absolutely everything to do with the natural result of Neoliberalism.

            The graph is literally about housing prices

            Brexit is also a result of neoliberalism, I mentioned it because if remain had won (= the tories wouldn’t be in power the years after the vote), their housing prices would be less like NZ and Canada and more like the European average. That would still be a problem, I’m not implying everything would be fine for UK if they didn’t vote for brexit just like I’m not implying everything is fine in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe.
