Vaseline To Masterbate

the University. What is at stake in the Village Elections

For those who thought they had had enough of politics to the municipal campaign, dense and aware that there are still quite sound, since the electoral process is picking up new college, and go to be strong. Much is at stake, choice of Deans, Vice Chancellors and, positions in different offices, businesses and even concessions contracts of many teachers.

But university policy initiatives that they know some or a lot of the problems of our university, they face something stronger than the university system as reported. The apathy of their peers. Therefore, as well Toynbee said: " The greatest punishment for those not interested in politics is to be governed by people who themselves are interested." And those people that if they are interested, most of the time are not necessarily the most capable, but rather, the most clever.

Two things have caught the attention of the municipal elections: First, the important role that the JNE has fulfilled its campaign "Vote Informed, the future in your hands" . As an alternative channel and neutral to the media that was played as part of his party. And second, a Social Force phrases that became widespread through facebook, a sort of message to the awareness of youth that were themselves actors circulated: " I do politics, so I would not make it "or that other" political or We continue to make us ". How are you are initiatives that turn the eyes of many young people, encourage their new expectations and demands. Susana Villaran owes its success to a good percentage of young people who gave him his confidence despite all the campaign was against him. Part of the error of Lourdes Flores and his campaign team is not having a strategy to reach young people.

university space is a small platform on which young people are politicians and voters, and have complete freedom to design the campaign as they see fit. However, the election platform is small, does not mean less important, but even if you is at stake involves us directly. It is time therefore to know and make informed choices, to require comprehensive proposals at the macro and micro, denouncing the demagogy and urge as practicable and consistent with the possibilities of our institution.

Let us begin by an overview of student political groups that are struggling to position itself in the most important government bodies: The University Assembly and Faculty Council. So the natural question is: What is so important why the University Assembly and Faculty Council?. For simple, because these instances to be no universal suffrage still end up defining who will be the next Chancellor, Vice Chancellor (AU) and college deans. (CF).

What you have here is a chart that shows not only the student groups candidates to the Assembly (NGV, RED, Siglo XXI and we Villarreal), but also those that show a warm presence of at least in two faculties (Alma Mater and Student Integration) competing for representation in their respective faculties. On the other hand, it is amazing the amount of political groupings "independent" schools scattered throughout, compared to the four macro lists. On average we are talking about 3 groups of faculty, which may be very organized but have failed even leave the threshold of her facu; true reflection of the electoral landscape of the country, where independent local and regional movements are overwhelmingly superior in numbers to the known national parties, but obviously disjointed from each other. The strength of the associations Assembly candidates lies in their ability to articulate in several university faculties scattered, but we can see that none is able to pass the threshold of half of all existing facutades (18 in total). Postscript -----(

Another look.

However, if we observe the nominal subject, ie the explicit presence of a given group in a particular option, to pay attention to the presence of the number of lists, you'll notice that the picture changes in an interesting way.

Observe the presence of the list numbers leads us to assert that two, three or more groups that have different names bear a kind of electoral alliance, a pact not declared, to facilitate the act of voting to maintain a consistent figure for the three organs of government, thus avoiding confusion.

Obviously, such a fragmented political landscape, approaches and partnerships between macro-level groups and groups of faculty level is quite natural, almost a necessity. As is also evident that if the right political groupings not articulate organically with groups seek to safeguard macro is because of their independence. Either way, this assessment may be deniable in favor of coincidence or chance, but one saying that "in politics there are no coincidences." Do you believe?

know those who are in the race is only the first step to take a look at the electoral stage vote and exercise conscious. We are open to collaborations that can be shared information for the object here. Keep in touch.
