    Sorry Peachy, hadn't seen that post before I posted.

    Doesn't look like she is. Although, Carol-Anne was involved on Michelle's Welfare campaign and was canvassing for her at the Arts Ball, of all places. She even tried to convince the charity rep. to vote for Michelle and Vicki-Anne finished college a decade ago. She strikes me as being very driven.

    To be honest, I don't think as many people care about the upcoming elections as do about the Sabbat elections. Maybe care is too strong a word, I don't know.

    I signed the nomination sheet thing for some guy who was trying to run for women's officer in the bar on the last day of term. Mustn't have handed it in.

    Well yeah, Exec positions have a lot less power than sabat positions, the campaign trail is shorter, the deposit is lower, and fewer people turn out to vote. There's generally a lot less riding on them. The exec don't shape the face of the union to the extent that the sabats do. That's the way it always is.
    Plus it's closer to exams and students (even 'hacks') are worried about that.

    No, none of them have done anything high profile yet. (which isn't a criticism of any of them per se, there's a lot of important work that has to be done in the union that doesn't get your face out there, or your name in the papers, that's not what it should be about anyway).

    A very good move - but you might want to add a quick openig post to explain why the thread makes reference to a different thread - for people who haven't seen the other one.

    When you move the posts it places all of them in order that they were first posted. I.E. my new opening post would have been done an hour or so after the other ones so it will come up last on the thread.

    I will edit the fist post when I get the chance, I have been busy with other things.

    If that's all that matters to you Stephen, ask each candidate when we get back. Just stop behaving like a petulant toddler.

    But I WANNNA;)
    I have no intention of toddling around a load of different nobodies asking about where they stand, and what did they think of Enda (excuse the capital) Duffy losing. Oh, it was a trajedy? It will be the end of the union! - oh but Dans still a great guy? Whats that? your not left, just politically challanged? but I should still vote for you? Why? Because you will have an active campaigning union. But I don't want an active campaigning union! So is there any reason for me to vote for you? There is?! Oh. You will have an active campaigning union..............

    Ah but isn't anonymity one of the great things about Boards?

    However if you post up your photo you are looking to be "outed"!

    I know there's a limited number of people who know who I am and I know that very few people know who Sangre is!!

    Yeah see I thought that was him I saw with his hood over his face, stepping out of a white and blue van with a load of men in uniform around him but it turns out it was his doppelganger.

    However it turns out Sangre does have something for white tracksuits so we may be on the right track!

    About this left and right thing...

    TBH there's nothing creative or personal about the PRO jobs as far as I can see. You have to just help out with whatever jobs the Deputy Pres assigns to you, and aside from maybe suggesting to the Reps what should be tackled, you have to work off their initiative in what they want done on a building-by-building basis. The job is largely one based exactly on its description, so being left or right should have nothing to do with it really - politics is about as relevant in how to tie your laces.

    Right so, to answer a previous question regarding political affiliations.

    I am <snip>. I am running for Oifigeach na Gaeilge. I am a member of UCD Labour Youth.

    I'll post up a manifesto when I put it together, if that is allowed on these boards (can a moderator clarify this for me?). If that's not permitted, sure there'll still be plenty of manifestoes available during the run-up to the elections.

    Any other questions about my track record, I'll gladly answer them.
