So, why did she lose?
This is one of the issues where after it was announced her ratings slipped.

The “dementia tax”, as it has been dubbed by critics, would see thousands of pensioners who own their properties having to pay for care they receive in their own homes.
Their homes would then have to be sold to pay their bills, after their deaths, after the Prime Minister axed a commitment to impose a cap on lifetime care costs of around £72,000.
The policy has been criticised as unfair because older people would receive free NHS care for conditions such as cancer – but be forced to pay for conditions treated at home, including dementia.
Then added to this I am sure the fact that a Nationwide shortage of houses coupled with stagnant construction carried from the Blair days may have had an effect. 80% of young people do not believe they will ever own a house especially in London.
If someone lives in Central London, a£20,000 salary would not even get him a flat given that he would have to pay around £1,000 to £3,000 per months.
House prices I understand have dropped recently but rents have not as yet.
