Yeah i agree with what you have said. Train prices are just too much from what is a part publicly funded train operator, no motivation to take train which is a greener option and remain on many occasions the carriage being only third full. As for students, they are the future and especially the poorest students who at times may have struggled through an anti-academic sub culture to get to where they aspire, a University place. The money and help should be going to them, rather than in my own personal opinion to wealthy landowner-farmers with bovine tB compensation, something which amazes myself Good post Matt.

Incidentally, Wales sets its own policy on this separate from whatever is decided in London. We have now found a way to carry out this policy in a way that is affordable and realistic and remain the only party with a plan to achieve the abolition of this tax on education. I think that is something that we can be proud of and certainly something to gloat about.

After backpeddling over the last few weeks your policy now is that you would "phase out tuition fees over 6 years". Now I might be stupid but I though that the maximum that one parliament can last is 5years. This means that even if by some chance you end up in coalition after the next westminster your not committed to achieving anything until after that government has ended. You really are in no place to gloat about this policy. During your conference Nick Clegg clearly said that it would be too expensive to scrap tuition fees now.
