This is what happens as a result of needless tinkering. And all that appears to being suggested is more needless tinkering. If you want a model that worked, why not look at the formation and structure of the SRC before all the changes started?

I presume the people who brought in the seemingly annual changes to the structure of the SRC did so in the belief that they were making things better. The fact that they had the reverse result is the reason why many people question the constant restructuring. Is there any reason to believe that this change will not be swept away in a year or two? I seriously doubt that either proposed change will have any great success in reconnecting the SRC to the student body.

We all know how free and fair a hall election is, and short of calling in the UN, I don't think there's much we can do to change that.

People probably get more pissed off because the union elections are bigger, and for some positions result in a year long contract...

This isn't bickering, whoever you are--- I plan on harrassing General Yabroff and Director Reilly very little this year and doing my job. Plus, what is posted on a sinner messageboard qualifies as what we in the business call "rhetoric" and "goofitude," not "hostility." Hostility is walking down the street and throwing a brick through Ben's window, which isn't going to happen.
I assure you that Ben and I get along far better than a certain other director and I got along last year. And as Ben is basically my boss (as he is the DoR and I'll be sitting on SRC) I'm giving him a not-so-subtle nudge to say "get the other officers in line and put them to work on a campaign already." Ben is a good DoR and let me assure the 266 people who voted RON against me that they have nothing to fear. I've already e-mailed Ben asking him what his plans are for campaigns and I've offered my full support for what he, as the elected DoR, should choose to support to benefit the student body. I'm hoping that, this year at least, we'll spend less time on co-op housing and more time on immediate concerns. Given that Co-Op was supported in a referendum by the student body, I see no further need for debate and hopefully we can just do the study and focus on other stuff.
Furthermore, I simply like using the word "communist" as often as possible, even if it's in the improper context, and Ben (as a Labour party type) is the perfect target.
