I think we have to be real, left-wing, right-wing, central, whatever you are, this isn't boiled down to party politics alone, but a matter of advancement.
Arguably Unis, especially those in the Western World, have some of the best facilities in the world, the best technology amongst others, obviously to be able to hire the best staff to teach you to run the best technology in the best facilities will run you down a pretty penny right? Fees.
Now it's understandable and right that fees should be reduced a little, as money could be gained from elsewhere, but scrapping entirely? Frankly, that's quite unsustainable.
On the contrary however, you do have universities in Denmark, Finland who offer free university tuition to their students, renowned for having a very top quality education system, and good facilities also.
We may never know, anyways, fees won't likely be properly fixed by the time we get to university, so it's best if we just deal with it.
