Why vote for Michael Collyer?

SUSU does a lot of good through Freshers, karaoke, and a lot of sports. But, there are still the little things that just aren't quite right... "Like, follow, tag 3 friends for the chance to get a doughnut!" They're sponsored by Domino's, but have you ever had a free slice of pizza?

Fundamentally, every student funds the student union because it's quasi-independent of the university with shared buildings, subsidies, newsletters, and even Christmas lights. Representation isn't an option, it's a mandate - from more than the 14% who voted.

I don't think there needs to be sweeping changes, and there's visibly good participation for the best events and societies. However, I do think certain things need a blunt perspective from outside the SUSU bubble. I care more about finding somewhere to sit for the hour-long gap in my timetable than what's in the Sabbs Fornightly Update, but I only get emailed one of those.
