Jon Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 1 hour ago, HanoiVillan said: I agree that it would be better if fewer politicians went to fee-paying schools, both because it would be nice for Parliament to better reflect the life paths of constituents, and because I want to seize on an opportunity to decrease the value-added of fee-paying schools. But the 2019 intake of Tories should be sufficient to demonstrate that 'not having gone to Eton' is not sufficient to pursue policies that expand welfare provision; the proportion of Tories who went to fee-paying schools is down to 41%*, the lowest it has been since people started counting (down from 73% in 1979), but the attacks on the social safety net don't diminish. *To be fair, this is still huge - only 7% of the wider population go to fee-paying schools. Where are those figures from Hanoi? It just says 'the proportion of tories'. Does that mean party membership? MPs? Cabinet members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go out on a limb here by suggesting that the figure for de pfeffel's cabinet is somewhat higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
