People tend to talk about student politics based on one or two universities usually that they attended a long time ago. Student union or the student political body is different wherever you go, and varies year to year..depending on who is involved. The main political spectrum within student unions is without a doubt the anarchists, followed by the greens then some communists and one or two labor leaning students. (who are not willing to admit because its a little boring) Roughly students these days are lucky to even have a political opinion, when pushed some students will admit they are 'left leaning' and the conservatives you have to pick out yourself. Usually they are the ones with mummy dropping them off in the BMW. I would say honestly that apathy rules at universities....which is why articles like this are amusing.

That said the chance of SA actually learning from a close loss is next to zero, because deep down they want to lose.
