Well, what can be taken away from these elections? Is it about hard campaigning; cheating; being from one political faction or another? Or can nothing be taken away?
Well look at the break up.
The Sabbaticals are split, with two Labour members - one of whom (Josh) is in Labour Students, whereas the other (Tom) has made a pact with the Green Devil in return for his safe package to election. Anna also made an 'informal' alliance with the Greens, and Gordon is so close to be a Labour Club person, that he is one. So an even split, although crucially the President continues to be red, rather than green.
The SRC Exec is also taking a red tinge to it, with the 4 of the 6 non-Association Exec Members also being red, against the crucial votes of Emma's more neutral political viewpoints and Jonathan's right leaning political character. It will be interesting to see what policy decisions come out of this body that would await the SRC's approval.
The Unions are full of former Sabbs, and this seems to be the only part of the Ballot paper which the red Labour boys/girls did worse than the Greens, and I wonder how this interaction will work in reference to the new VPS.
The debate and discussions that will happen it might well surround the Sabbaticals itself - will Tom surivive a whole year? Will Josh be able to work with Tom for that long? Will something else come along? Difficult to say currenly - there are simply too many factors to be able to clearly say one over the other.

The "green devil"??? Jordan!
I don't know if I'd go as far as to describe myself as ``Right-leaning'', more sort of devil's advocate, anti-controlist.
predictions for next year jordan?
So Jordan, are you going to update anymore, or is this it from you?
