Yes, I believe if you want go into higher education (or further education) then you should have to pay for it, and if it takes you until you're 60 to repay it, then so be it. Rather that than have someone on a really low wage paying for your degree through their taxes.

As for your final paragraph, what you're effectively saying is, if I don't agree with you then I don't understand the politics of my own country. I work in politics, so I do have a pretty good grounding in what democracy means.
