Currently, it is the preserve of a particular class of student: those who enjoy politics for the sake of practice, marathon meetings with small stakes, and the power to give or take away grant money. And the weak turnout seen in countless UC representative elections clearly demonstrates that this tiny community of people has seized the mantle of authority over the direction of student life at Harvard without any real mandate.

Countless people who signed in favor of holding a referendum to oust Chavez in 2004 have claimed they have been blacklisted from getting a government job.
