The elections for co-prez at WO have always been and always will be a popularity contest. While it's always a lot of fun to watch the candidates put their all into vying for your precious vote, 9 times out of 10 they honestly don't care what your opinion is. Don't get me wrong, there's always the one or two candidates who genuinely do care about making the school a better place. But the other ones are generally only interested in the whole popularity aspect of it. Honestly, I'm not beating anyone up in this post. I like every single one of the contestants this year, I think they would all do a great job and they're all great people; however, even if they don't realize it, they're doing it to get attention. That shouldn't surprise you though, isn't that what politics is all about? ;) The majority of the people who run for co-prez aren't interested in actually doing the work that comes along with the co-prez responsibilities. Sure, being front and centre in the school assemblies might be fun. But that's exactly it. Most of them really just like the attention that accompanies the co-prez elections. I mean, who wouldn't want to have the most votes out of all the candidates? It means that people like you. And who doesn't want to be well liked these days?
