Well it was a stroke of genius by the sections officers to present us all with these questions, because, for the first time in a long time, we are ALL talking about international, postgraduate and mature and part-time students.

I've always had a passion and a drive to empower under-represented groups within the student movement. The fact that giving this opportunity is being given to NUS candidates I think is an excellent idea in and of itself, demonstrating the power of the student voice - this must be harnassed and fostered as much as possible for the years to come, particularly in a climate within which these groups are at risk of further marginalisation.
