We should have a referendum on UWE's NUS affiliation

Extra Information:

It’s SU policy to have a referendum on NUS affiliation every five years - UWE’s is well overdue for a vote.

In the wake of the NUS’s near bankruptcy and crumbling democracy, many SU’s across the country are disaffiliating or holding their own referendums on their own membership - with Uni of Bristol holding one in the coming months, it’s time for UWE to follow and give students a choice.
