Militant did the same thing in the 80s
Labour Party members were 'courted' by local groups and taken on cheap coach trips to London rallies or nice events like barbecues.

I took my kids on a few of these junkets and great fun they were too, though being somewhat older than your average student I was ready for the inevitable dumping once they realised I was only there for the free lunch. Happy days.

Yes, Militant, Christian Union, Moonies - all a bunch of cults.
