  • It’s not a single issue, though-- It’s many:

    • Inflation, especially cost of necessities (groceries, etc.)
    • Buying property is well out of reach for many people
    • Renting property is increasingly out of reach for many people
    • Stagnant or declining job markets
    • Interest rates and the cost of debt
    • (To a lesser extent) Carbon taxes and cost of energy

    And so on. Those problems are related in many ways, and well-summarized by the umbrella term “cost of living,” but I think it’s a mistake to think of it as a single issue… Both in general, and in the context of “single-issue elections.”
