Mental Block?

Yes it's another NUS post. Although there are clearly plenty of people running for the full time positions on the NEC (especially VP HE), the part time "block of 15" members have a surprisingly low amount of declared candidates.

Obviously there's plenty of time to go before the close of nominations for the block (over seven weeks), but I only know of two candidates that have publicly said they're running, and a couple of others that are going to stand but have decided to hold back on the start of their election campaign.

Could the huge number of full time candidates be at the expense of those for the block, or (as I suspect will happen) will there be a surge of block candidates towards the end of this month. One thing is for sure, nobody knows what's going to happen for sure ... except me stating the bleeding obvious!

Don't forget I'll continue to update my candidates list as and when I find out about new candidates. Anyone from the left want to fill me in with their peeps?
