higuy: It certainly is vacuous, mainly due to its usage in the student movement! I dont think it has anything to do with the labour party line, its just that i detect a shared ideology behind opinions and decisons, and i dont agree with it or like the fact that i think its there. Thats just what i see! Maybe i see something that isnt there, but its quite a strong conviction and i find it difficult to see it otherwise. So when i say independent i guess i mean the absence of this. I consider the top 3 good managers but not good on the other two things i mentioned, which i personally consider to be equally important.

Are you tom marley btw?

Julien P: I recognise that organisations are considered as important, but the idea of rsn is simply to network smaller organisations so they can gain similar recognition in a way which is as or more effective and joined up without the top down control. That is the advantage which i see of a network of small groups and individuals over a large organisation. Ideally i would have the nus this way, but it just seems like such a lumbering buerecratic monster that i think we should create the alternative and hope that it inspires change in other places. The NUS is worth saving only as a brand in my opinion, we can achiece much more without it.
