- using sectarian arguments: "Shia are taking over the uni, you've got to vote for us"
- putting the voters under pressure by calling them 10 times a day on daily basis
FPMers do not use such strategies. They are too distant yet so close. They don't put any voter under pressure. Still they can win more votes if they work harder and harder throughout the year. Anyway, FPMers by nature do not show off whereas LFers, even if they did a tiny things, they would show the people that "We did this and we did that". This is a smart strategy from them.
Anyway, congratulations to FPMers. It would be really nice from them if they try to solve with LFers the "Shia" dilemma at uni. It's not suitable to make our "Shia" friends feel inferior or intruders. We have to keep in mind that Christianity teaches us openness towards other expressions of faith. |
Plz answer this, who did you vote for?
Also, "They are too distant yet so close. They don't put any voter under pressure. Still they can win more votes if they work harder and harder throughout the year.

this is a smart strategy from FPM, it shows that when we work and do BIG things not tiny things, we dont show off but we let the students see and judge, but when they do a tiny thing and show off, students will laugh at them, i agree that LFers are much more motivated and work harder much harder, drop courses do whatever they can to get a vote. but FPMers still manage to get more votes while totally relaxed :).
and as u said: "FPMers do not use such strategies. They are too distant yet so close. They don't put any voter under pressure."
That is the smart strategy, that is what makes us kick their *** now and anytime. the students know we are there without being in their face 24/7.
