Everyone knew cuts were going to have to be made, it was just an issue of how quickly they would have to made. Only time will tell if the Coalition were right of course.
I'm pretty sceptical that Labour would have done much different with regards to Uni fees, they were the ones who introduced the fees system after all and the ones who commisioned the Browne report which recommended the changes. It's easy to criticise now that they're not in power anymore, they're just being opportunistic for the sake of it. I don't think the fees rise was as unreasonable as it was being made out to be either, and I'm glad EMA is going.
In principle I think we should have freedom of movement and we should have an open door policy but it isnt really practical, we dont have the means to accomodate so many people so immigration should have a cap if you ask me. Trouble is that we're subject to EU regulations and have to allow anyone from a member country into the UK. I would never support a law limiting the number of children people should have either, but I do think it should be recommended.

I enjoyed reading this! Yeah time will tell if the Coalition Government has been successful. However how long? Will we know by next year if they have made any progress for the better to our country? In 5 years? I am banking in 4 years time when the next election takes place.
The rise of tuition fee's are making students think twice whether to go to uni or not. Personally if you really want to be a doctor you will get the money you paid to go to uni for over a few years? Uni is still really accessible for people to go to. However the government has to think what happens to these students once they leave uni? Will there be jobs for them after Uni? Or is it just.. oh.. they have a degree now. Now they can work in Stabucks or wherever.. a job they couldn't get as a student before Uni because they were not "experienced" enough. Dur.. give them training.
Or is it a case of.. there are hardly any jobs going.. some students may feel like.. they have to study forever. Or after their degree course do something else!
We need to get out of the EU. Too many people in this country!! It's the only way. I mean we can't just kick out the minority number of white British people who are sponging off the welfare system.
