Danes pay more than half of their income in tax, but have a much more comprehensive welfare system than ours. Kaye asks wether you would pay more for better benefits.

Danes hand over 65% of their income in taxes, but in return get free healthcare, education, elderly care, reduction in childcare costs and higher unemployment benefits when you are out of work. And they've just been voted the happiest country in the world. Kaye asks what you think, would you be happier to pay more tax if it meant more help from the state?

Kaye asks if same sex schools are good for girls?
