On Sunday, Courtney Love was elected Non-Executive Officer For Rock And Roll at the Oxford University Conservative Association. I’m not sure I can think of a more embarrassing title.

According to political blogger Guido Fawkes, Love’s appointment came after a night spent drinking with OUCA members and contributing to their Port & Policy debate, in which she called “for a foreign policy based on morality and said Wikileaks was a step forward for democracy”. So, there you go.

As previously reported, Love also spoke at the Oxford Union last February, covering subjects as diverse as the state of the music industry, the British public’s part in its downfall, her relationship with her daughter, Kurt Cobain’s suicide, Greek myths and her affinity with the UK. She didn’t mention any desire to become music adviser to a bunch of young Tories, though.
