However the point here isn’t really whether it’s a good deal. As policy it’s slightly dishonest, because it attempts to avoid a political shibboleth and, as we are now seeing, has created a loophole for those who can get the easy money and who have an easy route to avoid repaying it.
Yes, unfortunately a graduate tax or an increase in VAT won't win elections. But student loans and hikes in employer NI contributions may. Is that the fault of the system, a fault of the political parties or a fault of the voters?
