90% of all MPs have attended university, that does not reflect society, but it is an indicator that attending university does get you to the top.

A* and A,s mean nothing now nearly all get them, exams are dumbed down from when we took them, its all to do with inclusiveness, same with soft degrees, nobody does the work anymore.
