NUS welcomes Nelson's proposal for a vote about voluntary student unionism but not the question to be asked

Well, this government has shown a pattern of behaviour when it comes to apparently supporting something by suggesting there be a vote on it and then sabotaging the outcome by asking a misleading question. Remember the Republic Referendum.

Really, if the Student Unions didn't have the U-word in their titles, there wouldn't be a problem with them. Next on Nelson's agenda - changing the word from "University" to "College", because the first three letters of university are the same as in 'union'.

Next, can all taxpayers have a ballot about whether we want to pay taxes? After all, there seem to be loads of things the government spends money on that I don't agree with.
