Given the lack of investment by New Labour in HE with inevitably consequences for staff pay and conditions and New Labour's imposition of student fees, I'm going to be suggesting at the next union meeting in my institution that NATFHE directs its political funds away from Labour and towards one of the parties that advocate increasing public spending on education: the Socialist Alliance, the Greens or the Lib Dems. I wouldn't want to advise you how to vote, Nick, but the above are some pretty good options!
