Michelle Foy: The One To Employ

Writing about web page http://www.sunion.warwick.ac.uk/portal/Print.asp?url=ELECTION_MANIFESTO&candidate_id=1938

She'll be great. Vote for her. Go on, you know you want to…

There, that's my out–of–character Union Elections support done. Now after you vote for Michelle Foy (The One To Employ) for FDSO and abstain for the rest, or whatever, we can all get on with our lives and forget about this minor inconvenience.

Seriously, though, she will make a good FDSO.

Sorry, I didn't realise

If you've read the comments for my entry Union Elections then you'll know one of the comments I made was:

Don't vote awsome, vote for RON!
RON for all Union positions!!!
Who's with me!?

I have just received an email from Simon Lucas, the President of the Student's Union, in which he said

I'd imagine you were unaware that this comment constitutes a breach of the Union's Constitutional appendix on elections, which states that:

"6.9 - No member may promote Re-Open Nominations."

I'm afraid that as a member of the Students' Union you are bound by these rules whether you were aware of them or not.

and asked that the comment be removed.
Apparently,

If we were to go by the letter of the rules (as some people would have me do) then I should now be convening a disciplinary to look into this

So, of course, I'm very grateful that he'd prefer not to do this, and he also said he knew I didn't mean any harm.

The comment was not meant to be at all serious but, as requested, I have removed it and would just like to say:

Sorry, I didn't realise
