A few obvious ones:
- If Tories are in government, fight them. Not fight the policies that you might dislike or feel are bad for students. No, just fight the Tories for being in government, no matter what they're doing.
- If Labour are in power, demand an end to austerity and a reversal of cuts. How about a 5 bedroom mansion with a swimming pool for everyone while you're at it?
- Nationalising banks.
All stupid suggestions. But more than that, why on earth is a student union getting involved in any of those things? How do they benefit students? Oh that's right, they don't. A student union should be working to improve the lives of the union members. But no, the NUS is just a plaform to further the political aims of the extreme left minority, just as it was in my day.
