Tories have lost the vote of the young generation.

Came on a sub vs chelsea the other day.

That’s nice. I spent the weekend watching the football.

Two different and incorrect spellings of Tories in the thread title and first post alone.

Well done. Though I guess it does back your point that people have been out off further education.

Was that intentional?

The Tories' biggest problem is not the policies, but their abysmal presentation of them.

What percentage of young people go to university? About 40% at the moment. 60% do not.

Do you think it's right that those who do not go, who on average will end up with lower paid jobs, should pay through taxation for the others who do go? Do you think that is fair on those who cannot go, or who don't want to?

It clearly isn't. The principle that those who will directly benefit, should pay something towards the cost, is fair and sensible. There is a huge question mark over the numbers and I think the earnings threshold should be more like £35,000 not £21,000 (£25k proposed). And the interest rate should be 0% or 1% perhaps, not the offensive 6%. But the principle is right.

The Tories should be appealing to the 60% who do not go to university: "If you want to pay more tax, so that other people can benefit, vote Corbyn".

Do you think it's right that those who don't drive should fund our roads?

Do you think it's right that people who never get ill should fund the NHS?

Do you think it's right that those without children should fund schools?

Do you think it's right that people who never visit the park should fund its maintenance?

I thought it may have been two subtle.

Everyone uses the roads.

Not everyone benefits for someone doing a media studies degree.

Do you think it's right that those without children should fund schools?

Not especially.

 

[SWP's back]

Do you think it's right that people who never visit the park should fund its maintenance?

Yes as it’s available for them to use.

Thanks but I wasn't asking you.

Should have sent him a pm then.

Utterly self defeating gibberish.

You don’t want non university goers to pay for university education you say.
Yet under the current set up the only people who will ever pay off their loan need to start on circa £45K a year. Any less and they get a massive debt written off after 30 year, ie paid for by tax payers. This is a well documented fact. Yet your solution is to set a higher threshold and lower interest rates that wo7ld lead to even less ever paying it off and more having their tab picked up by the tax payer!

Try coming up with another, costed solution.
