Political Policies
Political Policies are statements of principle set out by the Students' Council that direct the Executive Committee in their advocacy efforts. They set out the formal position of the Students' Union on the political issues of the day. It then becomes the job of the Executive Committee to implement the political policies as they best see fit.
