MANIFESTO NIGHT TWO - Female Vice President

Taj began memorably - We are more important than the Male Vice President. To devoted applause, she added that it was simply because the Female Vice-Pres was the highest representative of the female population in school. Will you be able to fight for gurrrrl power, candidates? We find out, in their own words.

HANA: She admitted she was nervous as it was her "1st public speaking appearance after nomination", but knew it was more about what she was and what she was willing to do for the college - not entirely what she could do as a person but what she could do as a team. To many knowing nods, she asserted this college was too academically-oriented, and she would do her utmost best to encourage students from different backgrounds and personalities to showcase their talents.

ABBY: Telling us she had pondered long and hard what to say, she decided she would show up on the podium and say whatever was in her heart. She was adamant she was not running for the sake of popularity or to lengthen her UCAS form (candidates, keep that in mind WHEN you're up there and up **** creek without a paddle). She told the crowd that losing Bangsawan (Background info for newcomers: She directed the Garnet play which unfortunately did not pick up any silverware in the recent Bangsawan) had taught her more than winning it. It made her realise the value of passion, commitment, and the need to fight for their rights.

AMIRA - She appealed the voters to "please maintain an open mind" as it was, in very well-chosen words, "the person who makes the post". She admitted many did not know her and, logically, spoke about herself. Her doctrine is that "what matters is what I experience in life" and exhorted voters to move on your instincts, for they will rarely fail you.
