It's that creeping inflation, Rob.
Even if you live on an island, the price of everything creeps up, and the size of inages on LuLa creeps up, and the Creeps keep winning elections.

If you live on an island like this one, everything
starts from a higher level due not only to inflation but because almost everything has to be flown or shipped in unless it's a potato. But even then, the seed potatoes come from Scotland! I know this not because I have any abliity on or with the land, as it were, but because our favourite market stall used to have sacks with the Scottish stuff witten on them. On asking, the girl told me why. I didn't know that. So yes, even then my knowledge was extremely limited. However, as you know, I'm not one to allow little details like that to stand in my way or discourage: I just go ahead and do it (whatever it may be) or fall on my ass. So far, the latter zone is relatively unscarred. (AFAIK). I don't go in for regular inspections or anthing like that, so I just take my word for it.
Over the past few days I've become less sure about election winners. I see a person who may work a positive economic miracle for you, and, at the same time, one who appears perfectly capable of bringing another Crash, both of the banks and the world environment. But why be surprised? Even on this esteemed site there are those who deny this, that or the other with regards to the environment.
Interestingly enough, it appears that a certain son-in-law is also deeply involved with land development in Palestinian areas occupied by Israel. Nepotism is clearly the new agenda. I suppose that will cause even more hundreds of deaths of people who just refuse to lie down and be screwed out of their lands. (Of course, that makes them terrorists, you see.) Twenty-five hundred new homes seems a nice set of contracts... oh well, that's business! That's politics! That's politicians!
Doesn't it make one proud to be a first-world citizen?
