Who cares about student politics?

So, it's difficult to really understand this whole concept of student elections, or rather, who the heck the student council is and why it is important in the first place? What do they do? What have they done for us? Who do they represent? Do they even do their job when elected? If you're asking these questions, then you're on the right track. TIP believes that the 90% of the students that did not to vote last year did so out of a lack of information and, really, a lack of reason to do so. We're out to inform all students of why it's important to have a say in what their money and elected council are doing. Because it is the students that run the council, not the other way around.

Sure, it's so easy to vote when a party shoves an Ice Cream, a Hot Dog, or even a piece of candy in front of you, or perhaps tells you a bunch of really cool things about how they can promise you the moon and the stars - maybe that's enough of a reason to vote if you really couldn't care less about student politics, but that method just turns people off from the whole fun of it all. And that may be what most voters will experience this May. As students, we have the right to practice our democracy on campus, and learn about the many channels that we can influence our studies and our time at University. Your vote is really the most powerful tool you have before the year's end to have a say in how the next year will be for yourself, your friends, and those you're leaving behind.

Learn about each party, and prepare to vote consciously during the May elections.
