Beyond basic stuff such as poster printing, minimum decoration of stands, printing of platforms and marketing items, nothing much is needed.
Akid the more you have the better but a sincere electoral campaign can work without money.
Once people start asking for money it means they have a lack of devotion that they need to compensate.

1) What are your detailed programs or should we just vote because you're wearing orange or bear a cross ?
|
It's not about programs. Most activists still lack knowledge in the essence of their activism and the "raison d'etre" of their party.
A whole complete vision needs to be developed in each activist, where the program of work would become very easy to develop and follow whether in universities or anywhere else...

2) What did you achieve of your programs ?
|
I can answer about what I witnessed during my 5 years at AUB.
Believe me we did miracles.
It's absolutely impossible to compile all the achievements as we never recorded them as party achievements but rather as sincere representatives ones.
Most of the times where we won the majority in a certain council, we finalized all the points in the program, of course except the ones that were categorically refused by the administration.

3) What is the program of the opposing team ?
|
Should we answer that?

4) Why do you fight for students' rights under a political cover ?
|
Let them fight sincerely for students' rights and sit under whatever cover they wish...

5) Would a pro-opposition SRC be better for the country than a pro-majority one ?
|
It's something to study case by case... unfortunately. The answer is yes in some cases and definitely no in other ones.

6) Would Hezbollah lay down his weapons if we elected a certain political side ? Would we know the truth about Hariri ? Would there be less corruption?
|
It's a matter of influence. It doesn't have to anyway...

7) You as student representatives, what have you got to offer to the students that the others can't ?
|
As much as prerogatives allow I guess, depending on each university. Anyway it's a good question that I always use to prove that SRCs are just a detail in our work as FPM in universities.

8) Are the rights of the students in NDU different than the ones in AUB ?
|
Not necessarely. And elections and representations are not just about rights as much as they are about living one's political and social vision.

The student body is supposed to be the strongest in any country, when it becomes politicized, its power of pressuring the government becomes nil, because each side wants to brag about its win, and that's all the politicians care about, and unfortunately, the educated students fall in this trap, again and again.

True... But generalization is not accurate.
