Campaign in three words: Disgruntled. Astonishing. Wow.
What’s the most important part of your manifesto?
After spending about 100 words moaning, I begin describing some specific things that delegates to the conference could do to improve the NUS. One of these would be to try and get the organisation to help spread practical solutions to the rising cost of student life; solutions like York’s own proposed union-ran letting agency.
How do you differ from the other candidates?
They’ve probably all found funnier ways to answer these questions.
What’s the most important thing about the role you are going for?
A delegate who knows the mechanisms and procedures of the NUS Conference will be much better at putting forward an agenda.
How are you campaigning?
With minimal effort – probably just posters. Though I might accost some people on Library Bridge if the mood takes me.
What do you like the most about York?
That van in town that does hog roast barms.
What’s the best slogan you can think of for your campaign?
I’m open to suggestion. The worst is definitely ‘Vote for Jack or you’ll get a smack’.
What do you think about York Vision?
[REDACTED]
These answers are genuinely funnier than half the response that the (so-called) ‘joke’ candidates have given.
