Well, frankly I must admit the system is rigid but it does has
its purposes too....
1)The speeches' purpose is to allow the nominees to express
themselves on what they think they can achieve as well as to allow
you the student population to have a insight how the nominees are
like...after all...we don't noe all the people in the college do
we...(not most of us....though)
2)As for the camp thing...if implemented....this would mean that
you all would not have any control of choice of how gets to enter
the Council and who gets to represent you...The whole idea of the
election, after all, is so that you have the right to vote for
people who you think can fulfil the commitment of being a
Councillor
After all, without support from the student population(as well as
approval from the admin)...nothing pretty much can be
achieved....
3)As for the changing of Principal thingy......
