    Most people never gave McCoy a chance. Paddy has more money as he is obviously on more wages then a student. They should put a limit on the amount of times someone can be in office. Also, there's no chance that module on his manifesto will work - like last years fordum idea.

    Stupid comment. Number one, there is a limit - you can only hold the same position for two years. Number two, there was a gentlemen's agreement before the election based around how much each candidate would spend. Paddy had hand painted tshirts and signs, I'd be surprised if he spent more than Darragh. Number three, that module has already been approved afaik. McCoy was a great candidate, but Paddy was better. Get over it.

    have they not changed the rules that you can only have ANY office for maximum of two years? so no longer 2 of each for 6 years but rather max two of any coat?

    If they haven't, I think they should. Don't think it does anyone any good to be in there for longer than 2 years to be honest.

    It's definately 2 terms in one office but I don't know if there are regulations about the total number of terms you can do

    When I left the draft constitution had a two year overall maximum, it's due to be voted on this week AFAIK.

    There is currently no overall limit, bar running out of positions.
