    Is it just me?
    Or does any one else find the videos made by many candidates to be completely idiotic and something that leaving cert student would make. Not stating any real reasons what their going to do or how or when.

    Im more focused on voting for those people who havent made stupid videos and spent more time and making a plan for their campaign rather than jumping around in front of a cam!

    I my self have not made any video's but 22,000 students are a lot of votes having video's is just a way to get seen a little more.

    I have to say its very tiring going around talking to everyone / putting up posters and giving out flyers.

    Yeah theres nothing wrong with a video staing your goals and policies and throwing in a couple of jokes.

    But i havent seen one video from candidates that was one bit funny or clearly stated why should they be elected or re elected

    It just said "PICK ME"

    Rather than spending time making videos, I have been doing class addresses and talking to students on a one to one basis. There is no substitute for talking to people face to face.

    You can get info on all the candidates in the new issue of Toast, can be picked up from SU offices and where else they leave them around. If you want a bit more than a poster or a youtube video.

    Hi,

    There's a thread containing my manifesto etc here: and you can ask me questions about my policies etc. :)

    I've been doing class addresses and meeting students one on one to talk to them. As the Vice President this year I know talking to students face to face is the most important thing.

    I do have two videos up but they are for a laugh, to get some attention and talk around the campaign. However I am a serious candidate as you will see from my manifesto, which is in Toast magazine, on ditsu.ie, on the Boards thread above and on facebook.com/CULLEN4Prez.

    If you want to PM me Id be more than happy to meet you if you would like.
