ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes

The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) is a political formation that aims to promote socialist policies, including opposition to austerity and cuts to public services. Abolishing university tuition fees aligns with their broader agenda of increasing public investment in services and reducing financial barriers to education.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low income families

TUSC is committed to policies that support low-income families and reduce inequality. Abolishing fees for low-income families would be seen as a step towards making education more accessible. However, they might score it slightly lower than a complete abolition because it still leaves some barriers in place.

Agree

Yes, but only for citizens

TUSC supports policies that are inclusive and aimed at benefiting the working class. While they would support abolishing fees for all, they might see abolishing fees for citizens as a positive, albeit partial, measure. However, their internationalist perspective might lead them to prefer solutions that do not discriminate based on nationality.

Agree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

While TUSC supports the idea of free education, they might be cautious about a graduate tax as it could still represent a financial burden on students after graduation. They would likely prefer funding education through general taxation rather than placing the financial responsibility directly on graduates.

Slightly agree

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

TUSC advocates for policies that benefit all members of society and might view limiting free education to certain fields as too restrictive and not in line with their principles of universal access to education. They would likely prefer a more inclusive approach to education policy.

Disagree

No, but they should be reduced

While TUSC would likely see reducing fees as a step in the right direction, their ultimate goal aligns more closely with the complete abolition of tuition fees. They would probably view reduction as insufficient in addressing the fundamental issue of accessibility and equality in education.

Very strongly disagree

No

TUSC's political stance and manifesto are generally against the privatization and commodification of public services, including education. They would likely strongly disagree with maintaining the status quo of university tuition fees, viewing it as a barrier to education for working-class people.
