The swing in that was about 13 votes, iirc. You're never going to make back >1 bundle.

Actually, in that election I went from losing by 17 votes to winning by 17 votes so it was a 34 vote swing. And it was on a 500 vote election. Factor in the count team being tired as the presidential race was called very late. If I'd been him I'd have called a recount too but it was always highly unlikely to change. If anything it looks like Megan's lead might be extended in the recount now.

Meg takes it again, 968-880.

I intend on fighting that policy from being brought in.

especially if she expects the money to come from the various clubs and socieites

Aye. That's fine for the likes of drama, but most of the smaller societies couldn't afford it at all.

DCUfm were predicting a O'Riordan, Oliver, Byrne all day yesterday! Poor show by the College View!

While i'm happy for Meg, I'd like to know why anyone voted for collie and especially Cillian. Maeve and Leeanne had some great ideas that would have really changed the SU and the college. instead we have a so so vice pres and totally disasterous choice for deputy. i had to John Murphy over a financial problem this year and he was so helpful. if i was to do the same thisyear.... what, a free hug.!!!!!! He did nothing campaign wise this week, while Leeanne seemed to be working her ass off

Good luck to Meg.

I dunno how she's gonna meet her promises: the carpark one will be next to impossible, not to mention reducing food costs on the canteen, but good luck to her anyway!

This. The SU is Cillian Byrne is all about. Done a serious amount of work for it over the years.

It's a shame Cillian never got the chance to get the full presidential job, he was just unfortunate to have come up against a strong candidate last year. If he went for president again this year I would've voted for him above the 3 other candidates in an instant.

Hate to be David Doyle. :pac:

There were rumours that Dave and Ciaran had a pact to give each other their No. 2s. Shows how much they feared Megan if true.

Stop spreading rumours like that. This is why I hate the internet.

Thats bull. If Dave and Ciaran had a pact for Number 2's, then why was Dave beaten solely on Ciaran's number 2s? He was winning on first preferences. Ciaran's supporters voted more Megan number 2, and it caused Dave to lose, so that pact rumour is ridiculous. Plus I was campaigning for Dave and at the pre-campaign meeting he told us specifically to avoid voicing opinions on either of the other candidates.

So after I got back from the cinema I called into the bar and couldn't help but voice, unfortunately a little hot headedly, my opinion to Dave. I think my exact words were that he was a disgrace. The reply of one of the aforementioned cronies? "Shut the f**k up and don't be so childish" and he also asked me if I would care to "step outside". Being that I was someone who was scheduled to sit at polling stations (I resigned after this incident) I plan to make a formal complaint about the intimidating behaviour of Dave's team.

Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Pity I didnt care to follow this thread, as I ended up voting for him due to being oblivious to it all.

Strangely enough you'll find people spread rumours there too.

Apologies to anyone I whined at during the Presidential election about being quiet. I was really cranky at that point having been engrossed in electoral tomfoolery for over 14 hours.

At one point there was a drunk blonde giggling incessantly and I ended up citing off some section of the constitution that ended up making no sense because I got the numbers all wrong.

What I meant to say was "7.6.3.10". What I said was probably something like "7.5.3.4.10". Sorry about that, love.

Thanks to everyone who came and watched. A great day was had by all of the counters (and me), believe it or not.

Obviously because of the EPIC fort built in the SU, yeah?
