Oh, Niall, should've guessed you were a Tory
Unsurprising our ideas don't match up, seeing as I'm a socialist! In essence I believe in the redistribution of wealth, and fundamentally believe that capitalism is fairly shit, in a nutshell.
I agree Ruan, however all that requires is a slightly more sliding scale, as in my experience, 9 times out of 10 the current system works, i.e. my parents are poor, I get enough money to be self sufficient (just about), some of my flatmates come from middle class families, and their parents give them a bit of money so that they can live as comfortably as me.
I also agree about apprenticeships, as uni is pushed too hard at people who have no interested, but if people ARE interested they should have the same opportunities as anyone else, irrespective of economic standing.
