“I don’t understand why the UCLU, a body that’s meant to represent all students, has to get involved in foreign affairs and especially in a biased way.

“It’s all been suddenly sprung on us – they’ve clearly been planning this campaign for a long time,” added Mr Mendelsohn.
However, a UCLU spokesperson said: “UCLU is having a referendum [but] none of the communication has been biased in any direction.”
Voting closes this Friday, when students leave for Christmas holidays, and the result will be announced at 5:30pm.
