Simon Douglas on campaigning in Houghton Street Today


This is Simon Douglas' account of campaigning in Houghton Street for the past two days.

Street campaigning is exhausting. People who think that we take student politics lightly should spend 10 hours on the street. Today, I got in to LSE at 8am, left at 6.30pm (half an hour before close of polls due to an agreement between the Comms candidates) and left the street only to flyer carious computer rooms and the Brunch Bowl. I even ate my lunch while campaigning. It. Was. Hard. Core.

And it’s not 8.30 and I have no idea how it all went. Was it worth it? I have to wait another five or six hours to find that out; and I have to say that this waiting is even harder than the campaigning. Here’s hoping…
