Finance and Services also- ran Leela Paul was penalised for negative campaigning against fel- low candidate Lee Harrison for instructing her campaign team to talk about his sex life. Unnamed sources proudly declared him to be a whore – a shame that this was in front of several members of the governance committee. If playing dirty wasn’t enough she also physically steered a bewil- dered voter onto her name when using an iPad to vote. iCheat.
One of the magnificent seven who stood for Finance and Services Officer, Lee Harris- son, challenged the electorate to a game of spot the difference as he copied and pasted almost the entirety of incumbent FSO Matt burgess’ manifesto. Somewhat ironic, given that he ran on the promise of working with ethics.
The wallpapering of toilets with manifestos appears to have really taken off this year, with FSO elect Tim Rees-Jones star- ing down from every available space. Jordan Mcbee got into the spirit of things, as his post- ers appeared overnight in several halls of residence. Filthy shits.
Pi President Ed Malnick ruled that none of his journalis- tic serfs were allowed to second the left-leaning candidates James Skuse and Tim Rees-Jones, mean- ing that two senior editors had to withdraw their seconding at the last minute. However, Malnick himself seconded Tom Lewis for the position of Union chair. Is Pi finally taking a political stance that isn’t just Union mouthpiece?
As candidates from the left, right and the centre propped up the union bars during campaign fortnight, talk turned to the in- cumbent Sabbs. Will Hall, out- going Conservative Society Presi- dent, finally got something off his chest: ‘Mandy is lovely but I pre- fer Michael… I must be pissed.’
