TANTALLON,
Perhaps the examples you give, say less about those on the left-wing, and more about those who later reveal themselves to be on the right of centre?
All this gnashing of teeth over what is really a storm in a teacup, is very typical PPRUNE. All kinds of weird and whacky motions get put forward and agreed in the petty world of student politics, which isn't really any different from politics in general. Get over it. There are more important issues in the world today and I'm sure the UAS and the services in general are both big enough to weather such opposition.
