Not all students will choose politics as their career alternative. So second statement ". Very necessary students are future political leaders. " does not seem strong. Please discuss.

I think both statements are not strong as the aim for student union is to help fight problems faced by students at college or university level and not to develop them into political leaders.

Yes. I agree that neither of the statement is strong.
We cannot consider the political atmosphere that the formation of student union creates, as the purpose for forming it is totally different that is to address the various problems of college students.
Also, it may be necessary but certainly not "VERY NECESSARY" as it is mentioned in the second statement.

It may happen that a student union is not associated to any political party so I is not strong and not all students want to be the next political leaders. So in my opinion neither of the statement is strong.

As for me - neither argument is strong. Very often unions are made (and financed by the uni) to let the students solve some of their problems emerged in the course of education, so it is some sort of administrative university duties delegated to studs, which has little connection to politics (yep, the president of union is elected, but it is just a sort of funny game for a short period of time).

What the question wants to know is that having a student in college/ university is desirable or not? Argument 1 is not strong, since having Union would not DIRECTLY lead to creating political atmosphere. 2 Argument is also not strong enough. Vice versa. Moreover, base on the all comments. :D.

First argument is weak as it is not necessary that it will create political atmosphere. 2nd one is weak too as it's talking about like whole students. And it's not necessary that everyone would want to go in politics. So in my opinion no one is strong.

Politics is a key of all crimes so it should not allow in education institutions. However, it should not allow even in Government Sectors as well.

Politics is a key of all crimes so it should not allow in educational institutions. However, it also should not allow in Government Sectors/divisions because it creates groups/divisions among students in Educational institutions and Government Sectors.
So the argument no 1 is correct it is as that the politics creates political atmosphere over these institutions that can be danger or harmful.
