Labour Students
During Tony Blair's premiership, Labour Students opposed the Government's planned introduction of university "top-up" fees.In 2016, the national conference adopted a one-member-one-vote (OMOV) system for internal elections, through an amendment of its constitution.[17] Internal elections in 2024 saw the victory of the "Organise" faction, backed by Labour First and Progressive Britain, which defeated the left-wing "Socialist Future" group: Ruby Herbert replaced McGowan soon afterwards.This means that, whilst its aims were broadly in line with the wider party, Labour Students was an independent organisation and was entitled to democratically determine its own policy and governance.It also includes panels and sessions around issues of particular importance to Liberation groups, for example mental health services or tackling antisemitism on campuses.In the early 1980s NOLS broke with the Broad Left and presented its own slate of candidates in NUS elections.A succession of NOLS candidates were elected to the NUS Presidency until 2000 with the strongest challenges generally coming from those to the left of the Labour Party.Throughout this period, NOLS members of the NUS National Executive Committee were a minority, but exercised effective control.
