Would Labour voters be upset if joining the EU meant they could no longer tax children’s education?

[Blarneyspoco]

Taxing children’s education is banned as part of EU membership. If the U.K. rejoined the EU, would Labour supporters be upset that they can no longer levy the tax or would it be seen as a necessary compromise.

Interesting spin on it.

So what is going to happen when someone factually proves this policy is loss making? And the taxpayers are paying for it and getting less access to elite state schools because of it?

I reckon they will try and blame elite state schools.

You really can’t cope with the truth, can you? I don’t hate a group of children any more than you did when the government you supported enacted a policy that impacted on the poorest children in the country. It’s not me who’s bitter, by the way and you’re not “funding” me.

The government will lie about it, and spin their way out of the reckoning.

Partisan voters will believe them.

Nothing will change until the government changes. Which may not happen until the UK's economy collapses.

What happens after that? Who knows. But I don't think any of us will enjoy it.

Because they wanted private school parents to move their kdis to state schools, but only the ones that were going to close, to up standards supposedly. Not the ones which were already full or sought after.

What is the truth? You’ve outed yourself as seeing the policy as punishment for past governments transgressions against you, I guess the problem is that no current 5-18 year old was ever in a Government to wrong you.
I’m not really sure what you want me to say other than that. It’s what everyone knew already what the motivation was, there was no other reason to do it.

Just on practical and financial view point, the independent education sector saves the education budget £4 billion a year. Can we really afford this ideological nonsense?

Something other countries understand. The U.K. is one of the few that votes for this poor policy, it doesn’t even help state education.

What happens if someone factually proves it earns the government money and state schools are hardly affected?

PS parents always had more access to 'elite' state schools.

The government will lie?

Such lazy thinking

It factually is. Ask any economist looking at the healthcare sector in the UK and they say the NHS is a monopsony

There's such better care in social insurance models but everyone in the UK has a hissy fit if it's even brought up
