if there was enough 1 bedroom properties to go around and someone refused to move then maybe fair enough but there isnt
Also if you saw my post about twin valley and their 1 bedroom property a friend of mine recently moved into because of this bedroom tax would you think it fair you give up a clean 2 bedroom property that you have looked after and furnished to go live in a propperty that isnt fit to put a pig in because a lot of 1 bedroom properties are converted council houses in extreemly bad areas

Both very valid points that show its a very poorly thought out idea. I am not saying it is completely wrong, but it is far to rigid with no allowances made for available properties in the area and cost of those properties.
