Top Gear Thursday - Hour One

Without a lecture this morning, I've just had a look at the EUSA Election Site, and it appears a very busy first hour this morning.

No new Sabbatical candidates, but there are some key additions to the field, as the candidatures pass the 100 figure. On the SRC Exec, the Teaching & Learning field becomes more crowded and even more competitive, by the addition of Leah Volger. Noting herself as the international candidate, the German-American lists her past times and a number of photos. The cynic in me says that this could be interesting for the male vote splitting between Emma and Leah. But then, I'm not that much of a cynic ....

Greta Dargie, who last week brought the Grant Management motion to the General Meeting (or the GM Motion to the GM, as one man from Student put it to me) stands for Accommodation Officer ... surely this is a sure vote winner, and this is someone who really is going to be getting involved.

Societies Secretary has seen it go from no candidates to two in under an hour ... but the issue on most EUSA people's mind is the return of Tim Cobbett. Standing for Senior Member on Finance against the current incumbent, this could be an interesting election. Anyone for the umpteenth Diana bid?

Jordan,
Interesting blog. Moving away from the sabbatical elections how do you see the Welfare fight developing? Do you think the more cerebral approach that Adam Knight is taking can beat the all action, but fairly crude, approach that Nick Ward is deploying?
