Manchester Metropolitan Students' Union has for a very long time been a safe seat for careerists, the student union has been run essentially under the leadership of Labour Students who trick, manipulate and fool students to a point where the students of MMU have no control and no influence over a body which is supposed to represent them. The unelected General Manager is now more powerful than the student executive, the student executive has been shrunk and can overall any decisions made at the AGM.

Myself and many others have long despaired at the lack of response by the student body, however, since the occupation for Gaza, students have begun to fight back. Students attempted to call an Extraordinary General Meeting, only to find that the online edition of the constitution is out of date, and students cannot call general meetings anymore.

Students have decided to demonstrate and link up with the University of Manchester occupation demo on Wednesday 4th March - See flyer for more details.
