To NUS or not?

The extent to which CF engages with the National Union of Students tends to be a thorny issue. Whilst I support getting involved in it in a perhaps idealistic attempt to influence it, many members don't think we should waste any time on it in an organised way.

No-one thinks much of the NUS' campaigns and corporate policies (outgoing President Kat Fletcher is pictured) , the question is - is it possible to do something about them? If so, would the required effort worth it?

 Within the next couple of days I'm going to publish a pro-NUS and anti-NUS article, and then we'll have a little poll to see what the consensus is.
