MANIFESTO NIGHT: First Impressions

Manifestos are, by definition, utterly boring speeches where people with a sense of humour lose it. Thus, it came as no surprise that half the candidates took liberties with Manifesto Night. Ghani did a cooking demonstration (Food Exco), Nasyi had a little tune on her ambitions as - what else? - Food Exco, Ajak from, you knew it - the Food Exco! - regaled us with a PowerPoint presentation, Ilya ate an orange to scattered applause - no points for guessing what she's running for. But we at Veritas report. not revel, so let us run through every candidate with as much impartiality as he deserves.

WELFARE: Joey is a world class charmer. He walked up, clutching a huge file, and told the voters this was his speech, but since he had their welfare at heart, he'd only read it after the elections. Then he maintained he was not a typical male. THAT set the crowd wild, for reasons that cannot be discussed here.

Oops, Bio class, see you guys later.
