I'm not going to go into the full details of this years popularity contest, however I will mention that anyone running this year is allowed to have something like 10 official aides each!!

[themadone]

With 10 folk each running around campus pulling down each others' posters, it'll be like a warzone out there

[OrbitalPete]

Fucking stupid. Those 10 people going to ahve anything to do with it after this week? no. The candidate needs to speak to people, not randoms. Campus isn't exactly massive - you can poster it in 15 minutes, and I disagree with flyering anyway.

[Joey]

Just been told, students also have 5 days of voting and not the 2 days we had to make do with.

[Psymon]

Remember the old days when election threads were banned? Lols

[Joey]

Remember the days when the word fucksocks would be edited?

Remember the old days when election threads were banned? Lols

remember the days we gave a crap?

[Joey]

Yeah, I think it was about 3, maybe 4 years ago... good times!!

Is anyone else getting annoyed on facebook of being invited to join groups/events when:

a) you cant vote
b) you really dont care anymore
c) you never gave a shit in the first place?

[claire]

nope. i don't get them. but then i don't know anyone who's still at rhul.

incidently i saw that joey had joined a couple of groups and clicked through to one of htem. I looked at the girls manifesto and it made my eyes bleed.
for someone who cited the need for clear communication she has a LOT to learn *sigh*

different year, same shit.

[Shameless]

a) you cant vote
b) you really dont care anymore
c) you never gave a shit in the first place?

Yes, yes, I cared.

[SILV3R]

i cared. and still do. unfortunately, and patronisingly, i don't think you really appreciate it all until you are completely outside of it.

[just_juice_it]

Yes, yes, I cared.

Is that an answer to all three questions? My opinion is this:

- I cant vote anymore so therefore i'm a bit of dud if you're trying to persuade me how great you are.
- I'm no longer at uni or in a uni bubble and have more important things to worry about, like paying the bills each month and providing for myself.
- As Joey pointed out - it's a huge popularity contest and even when i was at uni i didnt like the way that it was handled, therefore i care even less now.

[Joey]

I believe Sham was once Election Officer. It was his job to care.

[Shameless]

Not the elections officer but when on the exec I sat on the elections committee and the year after that I also sat on it as a lay member, so yeah in a way I had to care! And my answers were to all three question/statements, in respective order.

[SILV3R]

i was on the elections committee.

[Shameless]

I lost track of the number of committees I was supposed to sit on over those two years.

[Sarah Gutesjahr]

I voted!
