Should well-behaved council tenants be rewarded with £50k?

Council tenants who keep up five years of 'good behaviour' should be rewarded with £50,000 to go towards buying their first home, according to a new Tory proposal.

Do you think this would be an effective incentive to keep anti-social behaviour down? Or do you think it would be too much carrot and not enough stick? Have your say.

    See message below - i may be a council tenent, but i'm a hard working one, who's just not been in the position to buy my house - but i do work hard to pay my rent, bills and i also pay my taxes. not all bad people come from council estates!

    Yes they should, i'm a good tenent - so i should get it!!!!! lol. But it wouldn't be me, it would be the tenents who have changed - from behaviour, that is not desirable and then who 'change their spots', so to speak. What about the tenents who have also been good, not for just two years!
