But after an election campaign low on genuine debate, they'll be forgiven for some confusion over the detail of which party has promised what to whom. So what exactly are the different parties promising to do on housing? When it comes to specifics like how how much financial support to give buyers, how much social housing to build, and how much to intervene in rent control or tenants' rights, there are
