fees as an estimated 350 million was spent at that time for funding. Funding would go on resources, research, support for students, maintenance, and many other factors such as the growth in the number of students and would only continue to grow in amount as the years went on, therefore public spending on education would have to increase also. The committee wanted student tuition fees to be on loan terms but the grants for the poorer students to stay in place, the also wanted a flat rate tuition fee of 1,000 for all students. They wanted to ensure students of all ages and backgrounds had the choice of a wide variety of courses with the highest standard of teaching. Learning always had to be compatible with employer’s needs and student’s general skills should be up to standards. Dearing also thought universities should make use of technology more and government should increase funding for vital research. The Dearing report was the biggest change to education in a long time. On the day the report came out the recommendation for students to start paying for education was accepted almost straight away.

Firstly, stances on a single issue, as important as said issue may be to voters and as predictive as the people’s reaction to an issue can be of their positions on other issues and therefore other candidates, cannot predict an entire election. Additionally, there is still a chance for the Democrats when the general election rolls around. As primary season comes to a close, the candidate left standing on either side will have to begin to appeal to a more moderate voter base. This is where Bernie…

“Election campaigns for public office are expensive. Candidates need funding for support staff, advertising, traveling, and public appearances. Unless they are independently wealthy, most must finance their campaigns with contributions from individuals and from businesses and other organizations (legal).” In 1974, most of these campaigns were funded by individual corporations or small groups of wealthy donors.

minority does not rule the majority. This is an example of New Labour pushing its policies through. New Labour did not perform well in the elections for the National Assembly of Wales. One can also look the actions taken in London by New Labour through setting up the Greater London Authority and an elected mayor. The Mayor of London was to have general control over transportation and policy while the GLA would possess little power and be easily vetoed by the Secretary of State. While these two…
