So who's ACTUALLY running for the SUSU elections?
The official list for SUSU elections candidates has been released. So just how correct were our rumours?
Chris HoughtonThis afternoon the Wessex Scene reported the official list of candidates running in the SUSU elections this year. The candidates were due to officially be announced live on SUSU TV tonight at 7pm, but it seems the Wessex Scene has managed to get the results out a few hours early.
Chances are the SUSU TV team are not in a good mood right now.
At the first meeting of all the candidates, President Billy Fitzjohn made it clear that “candidates and their teams are expected to comply with the letter and spirit” of the rules of elections week (as stated on the SUSU elections website).
In reference to the Soton Tab, he apparently said:
Don’t get upset about things put online that SUSU cannot control, I think you all know what I am referring to.
Emily Rees, the current VP Welfare & Societies, also kindly said:
Don’t let this be your only resort, you’ll feel crap if you don’t get it and you have nothing else to fall back on.
