Nobody has actually talked about this, but what happens if a graduate decided to leave the country, gets a (probably well-paid) job somewhere else and earns zero Pounds, but perhaps $250,000 (or 200,000 Euros )a year?

 

Zero UK tax liability. Zero UK income.

 

How much would that person pay back?

 

Nobody has mentioned that option, AFAIK.

Which ever way you look at it Clegg is going to break his pledge, he's already campaigning for something he said he 'pledged' he wasn't going to do.

 

I wonder why it wasn't safeguarded and put into the coalition agreement as AV was if it was so important to the Lib Dems?

 

AV is important to the Lib Dems because they are the only ones who will benefit from it. Reforming student finances benefits people other then the Lib Dems, and the Lib Dems (like all modern politicians) are only in it to grab power for themselves. Ordinary voters don't matter to these people.
