					<description><![CDATA[In regards to college convenors I actually think its a good idea, but surely there needs to be an overall executive officer to orchestrate and ultimately take responsibility for campaigns of intra-college interest? or will that be then the sole responsibility of the President?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Isn&#039;t this the guy who tried to break the clique last year, and failed?

&quot;The new constitution also reforms the structure of the Union. It will mean that no matter what class you’re in or how many people there are in it, you will have a class rep.&quot; Why? Because you say so? This has to be explained far more clearly. Quote the article from the constitution.

&quot;The constitution ensures as well that students stay connected to Ents. The new Ents committee means that nine student coordinators are at the heart of our nights out; and with the industry experience and financial savvy of a professional behind them, UCD Ents will be bigger and better than ever under the new constitution.&quot; Words like &quot;bigger&quot; and &quot;better&quot; are merely empty rhetoric unless your tell us this will happen. How will we stay connected to the Union when we are represented by only nine student coordinators? Surely, this is scant representation for a student body of what, 25,000?

&quot;The SU’s the guy who works in the background to make sure we all can get through University as well as possible...What you’ll do after you graduate is one of the most serious decisions students have to make, and the SU is there for you, if you vote for this constitution, you’re allowing the SU to help you in that decision.&quot; If the SU is already providing the student base with the help it requires, then why are we changing things around? Surely the statement before the ellipsis makes what comes after it redundant?

The SU definitely needs to be changed, without a doubt, but this article provides nothing more than opinion and empty statements. At least the No guy was able to quote articles from the constitution to make his point.]]></description>
