UCL Union Societies conspire to win Election

A secret society formed to “influence” the student body and manipulate election results has been uncovered at UCL.

An anonymous whistleblower in the Conservative Society alerted the Buzz to the existence of a secretive organisation consisting of the Presidents of UCL's seven self appointed “most influential societies."

The Presidents declined to comment.

In relation to the Conservative Society an investigation into the group’s Facebook page shows that one member had proposed flooding
Tory Soc with new members before the AGM. This was intended to ensure his man, Adam Memon, an EFS Vice President, was elected President of
Tory Soc.

This strategy is likely to have been one employed in attempting to elect presidents favoured by the 'G7' at other society elections.

The cartel's ambitions seems to derive from their belief that they have a “huge outreach and influence on public opinion on campus”.

This, they say, is to be used to “make positive change happen.” Presumably packing societies with members in the run up to an AGM in
an attempt to ensure their candidates are elected President is an example of this "positive change."

A Tory Soc committee member told The Buzz that, “it is clear that UCL has seemingly come to possess its very own corridors of power where
back-room deals are seeking to undermine the democratic principles of the Conservative Society, with far reaching implications for other
societies as well.”
