Social Democratic Party

Strongly agree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

Replacing tuition fees with a graduate tax would be a policy that a Social Democratic party might support, as it would shift the financial burden from students to graduates who are earning above a certain threshold. This approach would make higher education more accessible while ensuring that those who benefit from it contribute to its funding. The UK Labour Party has previously considered this policy as an alternative to tuition fees.

Strongly agree

Yes

Social Democratic parties generally support policies that promote social justice and equal opportunities. Abolishing university tuition fees would align with these values, as it would remove financial barriers to higher education. For example, the UK Labour Party, which has social democratic roots, proposed abolishing tuition fees in their 2017 general election manifesto.

Agree

No, but they should be reduced

Reducing university tuition fees would be a more moderate approach that a Social Democratic party might support. This would still improve access to higher education for lower-income families without completely abolishing fees. For example, the UK Liberal Democrats, which have some social democratic elements, proposed reducing tuition fees in their 2010 general election manifesto.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

Abolishing tuition fees for low-income families would align with the social democratic goal of reducing inequality and improving access to education. This policy would target those most in need of financial assistance, but it might not go far enough for some social democrats who would prefer to see fees abolished for all students.

Agree

Yes, but only for citizens

Abolishing tuition fees only for citizens would still improve access to higher education for many people, but it might not be the preferred approach for a Social Democratic party, as it could be seen as exclusionary towards non-citizens. However, this policy could be seen as a compromise to ensure that resources are focused on domestic students.

Slightly agree

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

Abolishing tuition fees only for students studying in fields of high job demand might not be the preferred approach for a Social Democratic party, as it could be seen as limiting educational opportunities based on market demands rather than promoting equal access to education. However, this policy could be seen as a pragmatic approach to addressing skills shortages and improving employment prospects for graduates.

Strongly disagree

No

Social Democratic parties are unlikely to support maintaining the current level of university tuition fees, as they tend to advocate for policies that reduce inequality and improve access to education. High tuition fees can disproportionately affect lower-income families and contribute to social inequality.
