National student leader? degree not needed

[tiny-tim]

the newly elected president of the uk national union of students (nus) has never been to university

toni pearce gained a place at bath university, but deferred it to be sabbatical student union president of the college where she took her A-levels

from there she became a full-time vice-president of the nus, and then was elected president, defeating (according to oxford student newspaper cherwell), an inanimate carbon rod

Good for her! Guess the university saw some good leadership in her. I suppose most see the position as just an irrelevant stepping stone.

Having no experience of, and not being able to relate to, the people she is supposed to be representing probably sets her up well for a successful career in politics.
