They've probably been made by the same person too. It's the person who gives us all the gossip from inside the SU.

And anybody who is in the know, knows exactly who he is.

Hi Gary.

33% God

This year I'm voting based on whichever candidate's campaign team give me the most blow jobs.
If none are forthcoming then I'll vote RON, and burn down the Quinn Building.

I get the feeling that this one could quite easily win actually...:eek:

Jesus christ, this thread is as embarrassing as the type of depressing people who actually run for this sort of thing.

A note to all union types. When the guys dressed as pirates in the arts block laugh at you, you can be damned sure everyone else does aswell.

No offence to my arts block mateys arrgh.

I would love to see certain members of this board run for election with the purpose of dissolving the union.

I'd prefer a complete restructuring, make the union actually do its intended job and split ents off as a separate entity. Theres no reason every student should be subsidising a minority of students' nights out drinking.

Red Alert

I totally agree with both of these posts. The union has, for the last 7 years or so, wasted students money on their own nonsense and irrelevant external issues.

Ents should be moved to being an ents committee, with an ents manager. Run by students, but the provision of entertainment is not the same skillset that running the wider SU requires.

Fighting a democratic bureaucracy with an undemocratic, more bureaucratic, bureaucracy.

I smell a Unionite! <grabs bible and torch>

Ill run if you check the rules about an ex student running :D and also if I dont have to do any actual campaigning, ill just send on all my policies and run by proxy.

Paul Lynham was out collectung signatures today, he's running for president. So is Donnacha O'Suilleabhain. More of the same old, same old. You'd think some of them would actually consider graduating at one point or another.

He must be about 40 at this stage. What degree is he doing? Time these lads got put out to pasture

Ginja Ninja

i'm not sure on the requirements,paul lynam is going for it,but as far as I know he has actually graduated

Pride Fighter

I have heard some mumblings but I dont want to gossip. As long as the current Fine Gael/Fianna Fail infested executive is replaced I dont care who gets in.

IM0

until they vote to drain the lake so there is somewhere to riot its pointless

Gingy

You'd think there should be a policy that you can only occupy a place on any of the union executive positions for 1 year, it seems to be a case of musical chairs, where these lads seem to swap places with each other every year and the same people are always involved in organising who gets into D2 (which seems to be the unions' main function at the moment!)

Riamfada

Lynham and O'Sullivan. Jesus Id deffinately win

1968

Colm Maguire for C&C.
