First Candidates

2hrs 30mins, and already the first candidates are in. At a broad brush stroke, its the 'Labour' Candidates, and whilst Nick Ward, Thomas Graham & Katherine Sellar are interesting - the one of real note is Josh MacAlister, who is standing for President.

It is not a great surprise. Josh standing (against a likely candidture of Adam Ramsay) has been on the cards for many months now - he has a proven track record as External Convenor and Accommodation Officer, but questions have been asked over his politiking throughout the process of his many campaigns. Questions that may well dog him over the next few weeks.

A cursory look at his website - http://www.joshmacalister.com/ - shows some interesting Flash Design creations, including what appears backing by former Sabb Jenny Murdoch and possible future Sabb candidate Gordon Aikman, as well as from the Edinburgh Uni Cheerleaders! His about me section is very interesting, and it isn't a surprise he makes use of his successes in this section. The crucial tag line: smart thinking ... cheap drinking.

Let's see who else will stand.
