The highlight of the Yes Campaign for me has to be "Is your Cat confused about the referendum on the voting system on the 5th May?" with the mascot Reform Cat!
Oh and before you think I'm some rich teenager or some old git, I'm not. I live in a working class family and I'm about to go to University after these A-Level exams in late May and I'm hardly worried about these fees, I'm more worried about how well I will do in the University I go to.
(If there are any grammar/spelling mistakes, I apologise... I wrote this quickly in a short amount of time during a 15 minute break and I need to get back to work)
Also, who knows, maybe these fees will be abolished some time in the future due to it being very unpopular and then people won't have to pay them ever again after that), and it isn't Nick Clegg calling the shots in government... it's the Conservatives. He obviously never wanted to do this. If the Lib Dems were the ones in power right now, things would be VERY different (NO TUITION FEES and PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION, possibly... I mean they've always wanted it). *END PART 3*
But then there are people who don't focus on the money side of this, who understand that it isn't much money to pay every month to repay the debt which university will give you now, and instead think of the fairness of it. University used to be free for everyone; anyone who could qualify to get into university (which weren't many people back in the day so say my mum and dad) could go there whereas these days you have to pay. Yes, it is unfair how we have to pay for university now when most of the people who are in power had free education, I agree. And I also think it's ironic how Nick Clegg used words such as "fairness" in this campaign last year yet he helps deliver something which is unfair, yes I know. But remember (you're probably sick of hearing this), Britain is in a rough time financially and we've had to sacrifice some things (yet this is a small thing *END PART 2*
But seriously, all these people are making so much fuss over something which, in my opinion, is so small. Yes, I said it, it's SMALL and let me tell you why. Sure, the £9,000 fee (maximum) for every year you spend at University sounds like a lot, but you ONLY start paying (which is a short amount; £15 per month or something around that much per month... like paying for 5 charities, £15 a month is so small) when you start EARNING a lot of money, enough money which pays for the taxes, food, luxuries etc, and if you never earn that amount of money you're *END PART 1*
