Someone wants something kept quiet...

Ok so Adam has quite a list of things he is clearly proud to have supposidly achieved so far...

...Yet there is one very big thing Adam has done, the lynchpin of his experience and he doesn't seem too keen to talk about.

Lets have a closer look...

There he is, Adam Ramsay standing for the Green Party as a regional list Member of the Scottish Parliament in May 2007.

Another unsuccessful campaign for Mr. Ramsay...

You can find this infomation on any of the websites that covered the Scottish Parliament elections in any depth such as here:

+++Yet not a squeak about it in the long list of Adam's "Experience". +++

Did you really expect this not to be publicised Adam?

Do you take the students for fools?

There are now some serious questions that must be answered:

1. Why did you try to hide this Adam?

2. Who will you really answer to Adam? Will it be the students or The Green Party bosses who selected you and hold your future parliamentry prospects in their hands?

3. Why are you so adament to win the Presidency Adam? Is it that you really care or are you just using it as a training platform for your future career in the world of politics and NGOs?

4. What else is there lurking in your cupboard- anything else the electorate should know?

+++UPDATE+++

1715hrs. Response from Ramsay Street:

"I have always been open about the fact that I am a member of the Scottish Green Party. I am a member because I believe in what they stand for, and that electoral politics can make a difference. My campaign has the support of members of the Greens, the SNP, Labour, the Lib Dems, the Socialists, and a Tory. Every candidate in this race has associations with a political party. As President I'll answer only to Edinburgh students. If I was a careerist, would I have joined the Greens, or Labour? I have already clashed with the Greens over free wifi. I'm happy to do so again when they get things wrong."

Hmmm doesn't really answer the questions though does it. We want to know why you found it necessary to attempt to hide the candicicy by ignoring it?

Ramsay "flies under the radar" according to The Journal

According to The Journal, Adam Ramsay's campaign although attracting support from EUSA "celebrities" like Tom French, is flying under the radar as he fails to make an impact across the wider student population.

Adam Ramsay - up your game!

And as someone below pointed out, does Tom French's endorsement mean he's in breach of EUSA regulations?

Property tycoon

Calling Harry Cole Calling Harry Cole!

Please will you reveal to the world the extent of your property portfolio. All serious candidates have them! You're falling behind Nick Ward (with his own flat) and Adam Ramsay (with his ancient ancestral seat in the Highlands). Are you the heir to a pile in Perthshire? Or perhaps a castle in the Cotswolds?

Tell us Harry!

+++Update - Ramsay's site goes live+++

Not a lecture but just a quick note to say that Adam has launched his website. Its much better than last years, no manifesto yet though, and no press release to us, weep.

"There are some things EUSA can't do. For everything else, there's Adam Ramsay. " is the slogan.

Adam Ramsay cocks up again!

Congratulations to Adam Ramsay for launching his campaign again through his Facebook group, probably wise to update your website for this campaign unless you want a repeat of last year!

Adam started sending out invites to the Facebook group for his second presidential bid this evening and it seems his manifesto will be exactly the same as it was for last year.

Good luck "old boy," over to you Nick.

Three blind mice, see how they run...

Here at eusaless, we think that it's very endearing that all the presidential candidates have submitted motions to the AGM. Harry, bless him, is trying hard and has submitted his first ever motion. Adam has decided that maybe we're bored of his clown act and has submitted a motion that actually relates to students… nice touch. Finally there's Nick Ward, who well bless him he's got Timothy Goodwin to hold his hand on the night. Anyway that's what we think, but now folks it's over to you…

Facebook groups for the motions are available here -

Hope to see lots of you there, although of course you won't be able to see us!

And so it begins...

Well it looks like this years presidential campaign is off to an early start with Harry Cole pipping everyone to the post when it comes to websites. In a press release he sent to our email account, he tells us that he stood down from the Tories last night as Vice-President & Treasurer in order to fight as "the truly independent candidate." Looks good, although his manifesto is yet to be published and that is where the bread-and-butter of this election will be decided.

According to our sources, he announced his presidential bid formally at the Tory Burns Dinner last night at the Scottish Parliament. He also resigned from the Conservative Society in order to fight as an independent.

Our source tells us that there may be a split opening up in the Tories though, one of the guest speakers had received an anonymous email about Harry which she clearly disapproved of, and there are rumours that Richard Mabey, chairman of EUCUA, doesn't approve of Harry going it alone.

Meanwhile an exciting leak from the Green camp - somebody calling themselves "Eusafull" tells us;

"1) Adam Ramsay is running for president (again). Dariush was meant to be the far left/ P n P candidate but Adam pulled rank at the last minute. Dariush is very angry.
2) Adam, although being elected by hundreds of students to represent them has only attended 1 Student Council meeting. A disgusting and arrogant record.
3) Adam was pushing Sam Hansford to stand until he decided to stand himself.
4) Adam is disliked by the majority of P n P
It seems that mr Ramsay just cannot get the hint. He is arrogant, lazy and incompetent. Stop him EUSALESS!!!"

So it looks like a split down both the Tories and the Greens - listen to us when we say that party politics in EUSA must end!

Labour and P&P candidates a-plenty - where's the balance?

Here's a post from the EUSA forums, speculating about possible candidates for 2008 elections.

President: Guy Bromley (Labour Student), Ben Miller (P&P/Labour), Adam Ramsay (P&P/
Green), Nick Ward (Labour Student), Tom O'Grady (Labour),

VPSA: Katherine Sellar (Labour Student), Nick Ward (Labour Student)

VPS: Katherine Sellar (Labour Student), George Thomas (?), James Wallace (Tory)

VPAA: Guy Bromley (Labour Student), Bruce Golding (Labour Student), Ben Politowski (?), Kwan Ting Chan (Tory), Thomas Graham (Labour Student),

So for President, if you don't like the left wing, you don't get a look in...someone sensible should stand!

Obviously the above is just speculation from some randomer, but it's amusing to see the rundown of candidates and their unofficial sponsors...
