Top 10 SU Council Election slogans 2013

Now that the voting’s over, let’s all have a laugh at what some of the candidates said.


1. ‘Does IGNORENCE exist in Sheffield?’
Nazma Begum – Politics

When it comes to spelling … yes, Nazma. Yes it does. Thumbs up for irony. Whether intentional or not.

2. ‘Votis for Otis’
Otis Roger Gilbert – Archaeology

Simple, elegant and memorable.

3. ‘Mohammed Yusuf. Breaking Beard’
Mohammed Yusuf – School of Clinical Dentistry

A completely irrelevant pun but a nonetheless impressive beard.

4. ‘Ice-Karim; the barrier melting team’
Karim Hatem Ahmed – Management School

Painfully tenuous. But good effort. You go, Ice-Karim. Melt all over those barriers.

5. ‘I’m as good as anyone else!’
Jamie Neale – Law

Anything you can do I can do to the same standard; I can do anything to the same standard as you. I admire your honesty, Jamie. But, because I can, I’m going to vote for anyone else.

6. ‘Hannah for student councillor? Ha! Nah…’
Hannah Harvey – Human Communication Services

Self-deprecation for the sake of a pun? Ha! Nah…

7. ‘I Can’t Get No Studentfaction’
Ollie Potter – History

I hear you, Ollie. All I get are shit puns which leave me thoroughly dissatisfied.

8. ‘Winter Is Coming’
sabrina celia senior – Law

Factual and ominous. I’d never vote for a Stark.

9. ‘Stick a friendly Dagha in Council’
Sarah Dagha – Philosophy

Vote for me! I’m a knife metaphor!

10. ‘Don’t have a punny name, sorry’
Harry Matthews – Physics and Astronomy

Apology not accepted, Harry. Must try harder.
