We've seen their posters, read their leaflets and joined their Facebook groups. But do the policies of this year's candidates for the SU presidency really stand up to scrutiny?
Get a sneak preview of this year's Fusion and hear from the people behind the project with the latest Yorker videocast.
Videocast co-produced by Amy Clewes, Jenny Wotherspoon, Sam Garrett and Jo Shelley
Hats off to John Lewis. He truly represents the people.
The Yorker poll does not suggest so, nor does the result of the UGM. It's all pretty 'anti-Dan' and it says much about '4 members' on the York populus. She hit a student, whoever he was and I think his campaign has been the less personal of the 2.
Not personal???

Get EVERYONE voting for the motion of no-confidence you possibly can. Drag them to their computers, do whatever it takes. This is our chance to get her! xxx

I stand by my view. John Lewis is the most influential man on campus.
John Lewis makes me giggle. Grace should be rebuked, it's just a shame she didn't hit him harder, or drive into him in a lorry.
You guys have changed my vote. It has been the people supporting Grace because of who she did it to and I think that's wrong. Your personal attacks don't wash and you've just lost a voter. And why don't people reveal themselves on this? It's a bit cowardly saying they should have hit this Taylor harder, so why don't you do it?

6 - you're voting for no confidence because a couple of people with no apperent links to Grace are attacking Dan? :/
If I start posting anonymously and insulting Grace, will you switch back?
No the personal nature of this campaign seems to make it acceptable the Grace hit Dan Taylor. I do not believe this is true. I happen to like Dan and I have met him (which says a lot for those who make judgements on him based on what they have 'heard') but this is not an issue- as I have said, I though originally he over-reacted but seeing the defence of people voting against the motion, I see they have no other argument of defence other than it was Taylor. I don't accept this nor do many people in the uni, whatever the Yorker 'podcast' comprising of the views of 4 people might say.

I nominate John Lewis for Male Welfare on Women's Committee!
John Lewis for all!
I heard that Sam Garrett was a nancy liberal hippy, and his sole aim was to produce a videocast to undermine Taylor and his glorious Tory policies?
Haha, I wonder who wrote the last two comments?!! Hmmm....
JOHN LEWIS FOR ALL!
You pig! I happen to know Sam Garrett and his hard-line policies are about as conservative as the National Trust. I vote John Lewis gets punched himself and also that Sam Garrett's hair becomes Dean of the Uni.
