The General Election (UK)

[Aerif]

This election will actually have no bearing on the Scottish education system as far as I'm aware since that's dealt with by Holyrood. However if Westminster makes certain changes then Holyrood is likely to follow (like the opposite case of the smoking ban).

I see the leaver's age being set to 18 as being a bit of a problem in the UK (exc. Scotland) and almost down-right impossible in Scotland. As far as I'm aware, A-Levels are quite difficult which means that those students who don't even achieve GCSEs are going to have to have something else to do within those two years, since they're unlikely to achieve any A-Levels.

Considering the more socialist tendencies that the US is taking what happens to us is probably going to be of great interest.

Ironically if the party Storm is supporting gets into power, Britain will be a right-wing country in reflection of the centre-right standing of the Conservatives. We won't really be all that socialist if that happens. The US becomes more left-winged and the UK becomes more right-winged. Guess that's some sort of cosmic balance thing .
