I don't think providing a training ground for future candidates and Labour MPs is a benefit everyone else should be forced to pay for. Do you?Give Maryan Street a laugh with this line though "The problem with voluntary membership was that those benefits were not apparent to students attending university for the first time and they may not believe they provided value."
But we'll take their money, make them join and tell the world that we represent the views of students anyway. All for one and one for all right?
If the Nats fail to take this to where it should go, it will show how utterly bereft of any principle the National Party is, that it will keep privileging organisations that support National's opponents. For that is what student unions are - training grounds for the left. Training grounds for those who want to keep National out of power. If you can't put them on the basis that students wont be forced to join them or pay for them, then what can you possibly call yourself?
