Strongly agree

Yes, but only for citizens

Although the Labour party's primary goal is to abolish tuition fees for all students, they might be more inclined to agree with this answer if it were presented as a compromise or a step towards their ultimate goal. However, their preference remains to abolish fees for all students, regardless of citizenship.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

The Labour party would likely agree with the idea of providing financial support for low-income families, but their primary goal is to abolish tuition fees for all students. This answer would be seen as a partial solution, but not as comprehensive as their preferred policy of abolishing fees entirely.

Agree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

The idea of a graduate tax has been discussed within the Labour party in the past, but it has not been a central part of their recent policy proposals. While some members might support this idea as an alternative to tuition fees, the party's official stance is to abolish fees entirely, making this answer less aligned with their current position.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for students studying in fields of high job demand

While the Labour party might see some merit in the idea of providing financial support for students studying in fields of high job demand, their primary goal is to abolish tuition fees for all students. This answer would be seen as a partial solution, but not as comprehensive as their preferred policy of abolishing fees entirely.

Disagree

No, but they should be reduced

While the Labour party might agree with the sentiment of reducing tuition fees, their official stance is to abolish them entirely. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this answer, as it does not go far enough in addressing the issue of student debt and accessibility to higher education.

Very strongly disagree

No

The Labour party has consistently opposed the current system of university tuition fees, arguing that it burdens students with debt and discourages people from lower-income backgrounds from attending university. As mentioned earlier, they have pledged to abolish tuition fees in their 2017 manifesto, so they would strongly disagree with this answer.
