So the exams are over and Christams is drawing to an end....

Has anyone announced yet for the upcoming elections. ???

Mardy Bum · 31-12-2009 02:50PM

You tell us UCDvotes...
Actually don't bother.
Lock thread, theres one already.

pljudge321 · 31-12-2009 06:23PM

This thread is as pointless as the SU is.

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.

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:

vote4pedro · 03-01-2010 12:01AM

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

Riamfada · 03-01-2010 03:41PM

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.

TDOie · 04-01-2010 03:44AM

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 · 04-01-2010 02:36PM

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.

pljudge321 · 26-01-2010 11:07PM

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 · 26-01-2010 11:31PM

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 · 26-01-2010 11:50PM

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 · 27-01-2010 12:33AM

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

Gingy · 27-01-2010 01:55AM

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 · 27-01-2010 02:09AM

Lynham and O'Sullivan. Jesus Id deffinately win

27-01-2010 08:52AM

Basically, we're not gonna fight over who gets what role, we all have the same goal, to make sure he wins!! No real opposition tho, just have to beat the FF'ers!!

Jesica Fletcher · 28-01-2010 03:47PM

It's ok, both other candidates are secretly the same person so it shouldn't be a problem

I heard that he rescued a bus full of children and nuns and child nuns from falling off a cliff while running a successful business that designs and manufactures to scale plastic models (6" to Lifesize) of Senator David Norris.

Well he was Law PRO this year, and I was in law. So he was fairly involved in running all the events and ****, helping our rep with our trips and just being around. But if you guys wanna hate everyone who thinks being on the SU is a good idea, thats fine.

He helped class reps shit? Surely he would be better suited running for welfare?
