Post Race Analysis - VPSA

Elections shouldn't take that long to announce, and so by the VPSA result, the crowd was thinning, and people were growing tired especially after two hard days of campaigning, not to mention the long battle beforehand. The reasoning must have been sound to leave it all the way to the last, but it was probably for a good reason.

Gordon's victory over Will was predicted in some quarters, and yet also a dissapointment to many. This was seen as the most likely race to result in a non-EUSA hack winning, but it wasn't to be, as Gordon took victory by a significant margin.

It's difficult to ascertain how good Gordon will be - his position within the Exec is crucial, and could be seen as powerbroker between Tom & Josh. Gordon's work will be hard, but he is cut from the same cloth as Tash, and I believe he has the makings of a good VPSA. His work throughout the last Freshers' Week involved a lot of varied things, and having seen first hand what he has done, I've been impressed.

For Will, he must take away the fact that he ran an excellent campaign, which brought a lot of people into the 'EUSA arena' and got them involved. It was refreshing to have a serious, open and honest candidate (and a KB kid) standing, who really made the elections a better place to be over the last four weeks. If he stands again, there'll be a tide of support for him.
