In the current climate, I'm sure they would find an ample supply of unemployed graduates gnashing at the bit for a job.
And people with a better education may be better placed to understand the external factors that affect the well-being of their employer.
You make the basic error of assuming that an education also provides the individual with some common sense. I have never found this to be the case.
It is also wrong to assume that those who do not have degrees would only vote for strikes.
I am sure that there are many unemployed out there without degrees who would want employment.
So many graduates out there these days, the degree has become what the A level was and the O level before that. If all it gives you is the elitist attitude you show then what a waste of four years and a large debt.
