Election Results and a Week Off Duty

Hello! So, seeing as it was election week and I was running for a position, I had to put all that was Equality & Liberation aside for this week. I wasn't allowed to officially continue my role, in short. This also meant giving up the radio show this week, but I will be back on air at 11am this Wednesday!

But you really want to know about the elections, right?

I ran for Vice President Education & Welfare, against five other candidates.
We were all invited to take part in an Insanity Radio Question Time, and a live Question Time event at the SU. Here we were asked about our ideas for the role and checked on our knowledge of the role so far. We were also filmed by the Demoks and Rhubarb to create a compilation video of what campaigning is all about!

It was an incredibly long and tough week: my campaign team and I were outside every day in all kinds of weather - sunshine, clouds and rain. Not only my own campaign team but others as well.

I have to say, running for the position of VP Education & Welfare was tough. Not only did each candidate have interesting and engaging ideas, but there were 6 of us all campaigning tirelessly. I am honoured to have been able to compete with such excellent candidates.

I am pleased to announce that my team effort paid off, as I am the VP Education & Welfare Sabbatical Officer for the following year with over 600 vote!. Feels so strange to type that out, I still haven't gotten used to the prospect! Been walking around in a smiley haze for the past 24hours or so!

I'm looking forward to spending an extra year here, in order to make even more of a difference. I won't let you down.

My manifesto, thanks to Milo Hartnoll
