Mein Kampus
So the Mundell campaign didn't go quite to plan, but it was an interesting election none the less. With 6500 students voting, a 25% turnout made it the highest student election vote ever. All the candidates slaved their guts out for the last two weeks and the turnout is testament to how well they got people fired up. Although he was involved in a rather minor way and wasn't running for any position himself, that was sadly the last of student politics for this bear.
If he was ever to write a novel though, TB reckons a biting satire of politics in this country, told through the eyes of a losing student campaign, would be pretty damn funny... Maybe one day, but for now it's back to the dissertation.
Why did young people join the Conservative Party in the 1950s eh?

Julian Critchley's little autobiography sums that question up pretty well.
I'm sorry to hear that your guy lost. But at least take comfort in the fact that at Glasgow, the President of the Lib Dem society was just elected to the sabbatical position of Vice-President for Student Support :)
