The young gnat

I think the best summation of what John MeDonald's presidency is going to mean is the conngratulatory advertisement sent by the Wellington Central Young Nats. The suggestion that he will represent the true feelings of students fallowed by "clean out Salient and what it stands for" (he means you) gave promise of the fascist things to come. This is borne out by the thugs who threatened you in the Salient Office. It seems that McDonald will represent all students except those who disagree with him. So watch out Roger, because should you and your Red mates climb out from under the bed, John will be ready to bash you. The question is will 1016 others?

For McDonald has already displayed that he doesn't give a damn for decisions made by the SRC but rather he will decide what students want himself. With a bit of luck (and even common sense) he may find at the next election that people don't give a damn about him.
