Democracy in Action at RGU

Voting is now open for the 2012 RGU student elections.


This year there were a record number of nominees, signifying an impressive increase on the 2011 Elections.

Steven Mills, current president of RGU:LGBT is running for Vice President of Equality and Diversity.
He said: "The election is fun but very difficult. We make friends with anyone running but we have to remember that we are running against each other and it gets dirty and political very quick. Unfortunately the election is often a popularity contest which is a real shame as you want to just campaign, express your views and win a position in a fair manner. You have to get your name out there and be as diplomatic as much as possible. If I won my position I would be thrilled. Winning through a vote is definitely confidence boost but it is important to to remember why I applied for role on the first place. I would want to get started as quick as possible and make sure I represent my manifesto and more to make my supporters proud."
