The one thing we can all be sure about in politics is you are as well to expect the unexpected. – Charles Kennedy
I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them. – Charles Kennedy
Further Education should be about the ability to learn, not the ability to pay – everyone who is able should have the opportunity, regardless of their family background. I dont want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place. – Charles Kennedy
I want to see far more decisions taken far closer to the patients, the passengers and the pupils. Far more power for locally and regionally elected politicians who understand best the needs of their areas. And far more say too for the dedicated staff at all levels in health and education. – Charles Kennedy
