I think this is a valid referendum, whatever the other commenters' opinions. There are strong arguments in favour and against affiliation. It could also be suggested, in response to James, that Chigbo's handling of the intial Council meeting and YES campaigning is just to warm up for a run at an NUS position after graduation.

The Tab has judged this one perfectly; Chigbo's position will be under threat by this incident. The whole exercise isn’t just an attempt for Grayden Webb to raise his profile before he runs for CUSU in March. He probably can't win this referendum because students generally want to stay in NUS but he’s right to be doing what he’s doing. This isn’t just about petty claims to keep his name in the press.

If Chigbo's broken the rules then why the fuck is this referendum going ahead? Just makes it look like some kind of cover up.

I'm voting no just for their arrogance

Oh, fuck off.

Chigbo's better than Mark 'bland and also somehow shit' Fletcher.

Disaffiliation will directly harm CUSU's ability to function; why the hell shouldn't Chigbo, as President, fight against something which would interfere with the effectiveness of his organisation?

Don't blame Chigbo, blame the idiots that started this dirty smear campaign.
