During the sabb elections a few weeks ago when candidates were coming round kitchens trying to win votes, we decided to have a bit of fun with it. Rather than basing our decision to vote on policies, which were all pretty much generic anyway, we asked a series of insightful (some may say stupid or pointless, but they'd be wrong) questions. Here is what the candidates have to say, and 17 reasons why we love Michael Williams more than oxygen…
