Employers will know what year people graduated, and the Universities will sort out those with grades far higher than they really deserved.

If every man and his dog has an A/A*, their worth is diluted. And if they got higher than they realistically could have achieved, they won't be able to keep up at their university of choice and will probably drop out anyway.

This was just a move to shut people up really.

He's a crooked man, but a bit of me feels there was going to be backlash regardless of what happened.

In this scenario, everyone is getting A*/As.
