In a very special Sunday Edition, Owen Earwicker and Freddie Herzog quiz the Guild presidential hopefuls. Jack Kearns, Areeq Chowdhury, Tom DeFraine, David Franklin and Alex Lane have one minute per question to prove why they should be voted for in the Guild elections.

Voting in the elections is now open for all roles and runs until Friday March 9th at 4pm.

    Jack Kearns is the only candidate who makes any sense to me. The other guys are a bunch of borderline  retard invertebrates.

      If slides off the clock tower and agrarian reform is your definition of ‘sense’ I’d seriously re-evaluate your understand of the word.

    This video has been censored. 
    There was another question asked at the end ‘what do you think were the positives and negatives of Mark Harrop’s presidency?’where each candidate discussed the shameful and spineless behaviour of our current president Mark Harrop, except the equally spineless Tom Defraine, who attempted to pin the VPE’s suspension on the VPE, drawing rightful blame away from Mark Harrop, who should, as a union leader, have been defending Edd Bauer against the university. Not, as Mark Harrop did, do as the university tells him and suspend his own sabbatical officer without conclusive evidence. This is neither the first, nor the last time Mark Harrop has censored RedBrick, this is a shameful display of apparent “democracy” from a cowardly president, totally void of integrity.

      Jack,

      With respect, Mark Harrop did not censor this. He was not involved in the editing process at all. We collectively decided that it was inappropriate to broadcast that particular question and its responses, given that Mark was unable to defend himself against what was said about him. I’m pretty sure you won’t accept this as a reason for its removal; nevertheless it was the decision we came to given that the Sunday Edition is produced in our names and therefore we take responsibility for what is sent out to the student body.

      I hope you understand our decision, even if you do not accept it,

      Owen

        Hear hear. Thankyou for clarifying the situation Owen.

      • Jack Kearns

        That is not what I heard. albeit hear-say.

    I’m disappointed that the question about the incumbents’ Presidency was removed – it should be expected of presidential candidates to have formed an opinion of the incumbent officer. Whilst Jack’s answer was superbly colourful and verbose as always, he still had every right to state it. 

    And in my defence I do sometimes suffer from a bad back.

    Fantastic, well done Redbrick/GTV.

    I think at least 4 of the candidates gave a good showing of themselves, and demonstrated why they actually want the job as opposed to just attention seeking like one candidate seems to be doing.

      I think you’re missing the point of Jacks campaign. His campaign is a parody. His ‘communist’ stance and ridiculous policies (“slide of the clocktower”) are making fun of the inconsequential and gimmicky policies employed by many candidates as well as their lack of any real political substance.
