 Socialism Today - Save free education battle goes on
For the first time since 1982 the official Labour Students organisation did not put forward a candidate under their own name, worried that he or she would be too closely associated with the policies of Blair.
This polarisation undoubtedly reflects the hardening opposition to New Labour amongst students in general - while the vote for the right-wing reflects the fact that they are able to rely on an unrepresentative layer of sabbaticals (full-time officials) in NUS to support them at conference.
The continued domination of the NUS by New Labour and its allies will mean the continued abdication of the NUS's role as an organisation that fights in defence of students' interests - in particular, its failure to put its weight behind a serious campaign against tuition fees and the abolition of the grant.

Supporters of ‘Young Labour Democracy’ feel this raises some important questions, the most pressing of which is whether as an official body of the party, Young Labour should be supporting candidates in internal elections.
The Young Labour Conference is the largest and most representative body of Young Labour, bringing together delegates directly from CLPs, representatives of those in work through the trade unions and of those in academic study through Labour Students.
We were spurred into action by the recent email from the Chair of the Young Labour National Committee which included voting recommendations for the NEC elections (we'll comment on this in further blogs shortly), but this is just one example of the deep rooted problems we feel prevent Young Labour from reaching its potential.
