And then there were two...

George Galloway has

pulled out

of the race to become the Rector of Edinburgh University. He claims that he doesn't have the time to fully commit to the role. While this may be true (he's barely been around to campaign,) it is more likely that he realised he didn't have a hope in hell of winning as most students either start meowing at the thought of him winning, or get genuinely angry about the hatred he has been spreading around through his stump speeches.

So it's a straight fight now between Foulkes and MacWhirter. Labour vs every other political party. A candidate in it for the prestige vs. a candidate who actually wants to help students.

Should be an easy choice now for the staff and students.
