… are soon with us. Campaigning has already started and this year it seems to be rather tense and all signs show that it will be a close call since there are two groups contesting, SDM and ACT; the latter formed by members from various student organisations. At a glance one might say that SDM are PN’s representatives on campus whilst ACT are independent, but when one sees that in ACT’s ranks there is PULSE, it might make one think whether they really are 100 % ‘independent’. On seeing the comments made by students on ACT’s website and on the Times of Malta, one can see that this might be one of the few elections that will go down the line.
Heavy campaigning has already started, with team launches, handing out of glossy manifestos, tents set up on quad with Wii and table-soccer games available to be used by all and sundry so as to lure every possible vote.
What is most important is that the winning group continues with the initially shown enthusiasm all throughout the year and that it does not fizzle out just like a Coke that is left for too long in the sun. Any decision taken should be done taking into account the student and not a party’s particular fancy. Many would appreciate if politics are left out completely within university boundaries… Malta is already exasperated enough with politics as it is!
