Seems to me that the Libs made a severe strategic blunder, by not making Tim Suttie the prime (and only) candidate; rather than splitting the vote.

If you want to discuss with me what our campaign strategy was I'll do so via PM. We had accounted for everything except budget night, and that turned out to be what stuffed us up.

That's pretty fucked.

I can't believe Danielle got more votes than Tom.

Having said that I guess labor left did kind of split their votes.

Still, from where i sat i always thought that Tom always looked in a more comfortable position than Rose.

Whatever.

Re: Union Board Elections 2006 - UPDATED 26/4

Rose did better than Tom because she got the more substantial polices (whereas Tom got the ones they've been running for years), and because of aesthetic appeal issues.

You mean, she's pretty and guys vote for pretty people. I remember back in first year, all my classmates would look through the election guides (which the Con no longer gets, coincidentally), and pick out the hottest candidates to vote for.

6.3%. There are ~46000 students in the university according to wikipedia.

Postgraduate students Do vote, however students based at Cumberland and SCA do not.

Cumberland have the "Cumberland Students' Guild", with approximately 5400 members, and the SCA have the "Student Association of the Sydney College of the Arts" with about 650 members. The remainder of the University community (both postgraduate and undergraduate, and students at the remaining USYD campuses and clinical sites) are members of the University of Sydney Union.

As an aside, I am of the belief that SASCA would be a better option for Con students, as we have a greater relationship with the visual art community of the SCA than we do with the main campus.

Exactly. That is why they should have picked Tim Suttie and not Monica. Still get engo votes and get Lib votes elsewhere on campus.

Tim Suttie? I think it would be the other way around considering how well he did last time he was on the union board

 

[transcendent]

Re: Union Board Elections 2006 - UPDATED 26/4

are you serious? almost 10% of people voted?! can'tve been that many students.

Your point? Tim would have been better than no one.

Also, people vote Liberal because they are Liberal, not because of their policies. People vote engo, because they are engo.

Tim seems obvious candiadte, even if he has done nothing.....including not delivering more beer.

7.5% of eligible students voted. That's actually pretty impressive.
