The Yes campaign is delighted to have won a clear victory. We congratulate the No side for running a robust campaign, and welcome all opportunities for students to have their say. Students have spoken in favour of a policy that allows YUSU to campaign on their behalf against the damaging impact of Brexit on students in York and beyond, and universities across the country. We are pleased that YUSU is now able to take a stance on such an important issue, and that students have had the opportunity to have their say and implement a common-sense policy. We will continue to work with YUSU now that the campaign is over to implement this policy, and confirm that no funding will be diverted from ring-fenced budgets to fight this campaign. Finally, we thank the Returning Officer and YUSU for organising the referendum, and the committed Yes campaigners who worked so hard to make this result possible.
