Elections 2009: Who will follow the Mad Cap’n?

Election Week: Tom Scott
Mad Cap'n Tom Scott was a surprise winner in last year's elections.
Saturday, 14th February 2009
Nominations for this year’s YUSU elections open on Monday. The Yorker looks at some of the students rumoured to be running for President.

Please note, these are only rumours and the students listed have not spoken to The Yorker.

Candidates are not permitted to campaign until Tuesday week 8.

  • Tom Langrish

Langrish would certainly stand a good chance in the election, having a wealth of experience. He is the current YUSU Policy and Campaigns Officer with Michael Batula, and is also currently the Chair of YUSU Council and a GSA Returning Officer.

His previous experience includes positions as Alcuin Vice-Chair for Welfare and Support and YUSU Training Officer last year. Additionally, he has been a History Board of Studies Rep since 2006.

  • Matt Oliver

Third-year English student Matt Oliver was the Vanbrugh Chair last year. He is also a keen sports player, and was part of the Vanbrugh football side that won the 2nds League last year.

Oliver is very popular within his college, but only time will tell how far that popularity reaches outside Vanbrugh.

  • Dan Taylor

Third-year History and Politics student Dan Taylor is perhaps most famous for the incident which led to Grace Fletcher-Hackwood being no-confidenced last year. His previous experience includes his position as Derwent Vis Ents Rep last year with Will Marle.

Taylor is also a regular for the Derwent rugby team. He was due to run for Services and Finance Officer last year, promising to give Matt Burton "a good run for his money", but he withdrew at the last minute.

RE: #74. Anton told me the same thing himself.
