They're reducing the power of the state by selling off its assets on the cheap.

    I don't know what point you're trying to make; that doesn't tell us anything more about why, except what we've already said.

    Because normally the Tories sell it off to themselves or their mates. In this instance, they let council tenants benefit from their practice.

    Doing so endears people to them and their behaviour of selling off assets. It thus makes it easier for them to get away with selling more state assets off to their mates.
