Duddy

Might serve to stop the "hi my name is X and i'm running for Y" threads (hey let me have my dreams)

Anyone running for anything in this years elections? anyone know of anyone running?? not long now...cmon, i love the election hype!!!:D

When does everything start? I've heard and seen nothing about them apart from this on the SU website.

Elections for Students' Union Sabbaticals and Executive 2010/2011 will be held on 24th February 2010

Duddy

yeah heard that too from the RO, it was the 22nd last year I believe, I think there's to be a week of hustings. Ah campaign season, and I'm not impartial this year:D

irish_goat

Ah what you running for then? :P

Someone told me a bunch of potential presidential candidates but for the life of me I can't remember a single one.

Duddy

ah not running for anything, but over my 4 years here i've been a candidate, a tally, a vote-counter, and deputy RO...so this year i'm only gonna be a poster-maker i think:P


someone said LeopoldBloom was running for Pres?

Just checked his name in the "Know your maynoothians" thread and it was one of the ones I'd heard mentioned too!

Mr sinister

Ah the old "random people handing out lollipops outside the arts block week" is coming up soon

Duddy

And about 75% of the populace will look at them with a blank look on their face:P

Have heard of two possibles for welfare, 1 for comms/devs, 1 for finance, and 2 for president...hopefully not as many as last year:p

I'm going to run on an anti-immigration platform. There's too many Scousers in Maynooth.

I heard 'PrivateEye' is running for President.

BarryDoodles

Also i was talking to some guy who is running for president..his views were interesting; everything should be nationalised etc etc think socialist with a hint of BNP, heard he got kicked out of FEE for being to extreme.

Please let there be other candidates, i'd like to see joe byrne go through

LeixlipRed

Think I know who you're on about. Small tubby guy, a complete tool.

BarryDoodles

Yep, i listened to him for all of about 3 minutes. asked him what he was studying. The answer was NOT economics, politics or law so I informed he "talked alot of ****" and that i was going to leave before i started an argument

ssshh...

There are a few people in this thread who know exactly who's running for what, and who everyone hinted at above really is. We're all sworn to secrecy though. Well, more out of respect to let people announce by themselves without being outed on the Internet.
