The Student Movement locally and nationally has fantastic potential, but we need to get a truly representative spread in its leadership.

Given it is representing all students, of all political persuasions it should be much more neutral, or at least less biased in the one direction. Just look at the number of universities voting to disaffiliate recently - and the anti-free speech, extremely threatening letter which was sent from two NUS officers to Durham students' union last term. Urgent reform is needed. Good luck to Kit! This is great news, the NUS is hidiously left-wing and has a long association with being led by Labour party members causing a conflict of interest.
