Substituting the building of a collective, escalating and ongoing campaign for the isolation of the voting booth....nice. USI produced material for the last election in which the Green Party got a series of "smiley faces" indicating that their policies on edcation were decent. Once elected, they changed tact. People never learn.
@Gazwsm This was around the May local elections - ie exam time. Not ideal time for mass protest. Youre suggesting its either mobilize the student vote, or mobilize on the streets - the smart thing is to do both,just as it is smart to both lobby and occupy. Remember, it was this combination that eventually stopped Batt O'Keeffe's plans (for now). USI made it a priority all year to convince the Greens to take a stand against fees - with extensive lobbying and quiet pressure as well as protest.
Its all about the music
