In reality, most students of the constituent colleges of the UoL wouldn't know the UoL Union if they fell over it, and certainly wouldn't view Clare as talking on their behalf.<br /><br />Her strange views about Jews had nothing to do with my vote.

The question we should be asking is not, who will step in her place, but how can this inspiring student be even more of a leader now that she is to leave the ULU Board of Trustees.<br /><br />I suspect that it's her stance on Palestinians and islamophobia which triggered the Ben-Grabiner-at-LSE-led campaign against Clare's bid.<br /><br />Not that I'm Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326275564775148582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25556312.post-40809971579509847182011-03-18T10:08:31.872+00:002011-03-18T10:08:31.872+00:00I don't think the FaceBook comments are all th...I don't think the FaceBook comments are all this is about. Polling on the violence in the student protest, which Clare saw as acceptable, show that of those that voted, the majority disagree with the violence. Additionally, it is annoying when you feel totally unrepresented in any way by ULU; it feels like marching protest and occupation are the only acceptable forms of resistance.

This was students voting.
