Russell Bryce is running for welfare. As previously stated, I’m supporting Russell’s campaign. Therefore, University Times College Correspondent and all round nice guy Barra Roantree is going to review these questions and will be free to comment, criticise, add or delete in the interests of fairness as he sees fit.
Remember, the whole point of these question and answer blogs is to get the candidates to clarify and expand on the promises they are making in their own manifestos. My UT colleagues will be providing broader coverage on the broader issues in the campaign.
Q1: You quite correctly identify unemployment as a welfare issue and you commit to working to combat the underlying problems joblessness causes for students. Can you be specific about what you would do in this area.
Q2: You promise to work with sports clubs to organise events right throughout the year. Can you be specific about what you have in mind?
Q3: You promise to fight the cuts to pay for student nurses. Can you give us details of how you would do that?
Q4: You promise to work to improve accommodation and exam support services. What do you see as the main weaknesses of these services right now?
