Boris Johnson has promised to use the pandemic as a “trigger” for change, including turning “Generation Rent into Generation Buy” as he looks to fix the housing crisis with lower thresholds to mortgages. The Prime Minister told the Conservative party conference the country has been “through too much hardship… to go back to how things were before the plague”, saying these kind of major events are “a time to learn and improve on the time that went before.” In an optimistic and forward-looking speech that ended with a utopian vision of the future, Mr Johnson promised to introduce 95 per cent mortgages with long fixed terms to help young people get on the housing ladder. He also pledged one-to-one teaching for students who have fallen behind or those who show particular talent.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
