That's not how politics works in the UK. We have first past-the-post, so individual policies mean very little.
On top of that, the Conservatives made an election pledge to build 200,000 starter homes in 2015 election and apparently failed to build a single one. It's easy to claim you'll build houses and then do nothing, like it's easy to claim you'll reduce immigration but it just keeps going up.
The last election in 2019 was mainly about Brexit and the general public's perception that Corbyn was unsuited to being the Prime Minister.
Or politicians are corrupt and Thatcher is a good excuse. Take your pick.
