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.
