I believe that as a presidential candidate I can offer a pretty good solution. I’m not going to use any buzzwords because you’ll read enough of those in other candidates manifestos and walls of text. I aim to solve the problems that affect the average student whilst improving the lives of those who wish to be heavily involved with SUSU. If you want a nice smelling pub, vote for me, if you don’t like the cube, vote for me. If you want to vote for a manifesto that has no real meaning, vote for someone else.
