Oh Hi!!! I'm Daniel Swain and I'm running to be NUS Scotland delegate for Edinburgh University.
I'm running because I don't think that NUS Scotland is representative of students
enough and I think it should be. I think all students should get to vote in the elections
for the officers of NUS Scotland, particularly the office of President, for whom currently
only a small selection of delegates to the NUS Scotland conference vote for every single
year. In addition to that, as an NUS Scotland delegate, I would work toward the establishment
of a credit union across Scotland available for all students at Scottish Universities
so that they could have access to the credit they need, when they need it, and not have
to go to extortionate loan sharks, like Wonga, and pay ridiculous interest rates.
Finally, I would work toward the establishment of an NUS-wide policies on student carers.
These are students who care for, part-time, members of their family with long-term health
conditions whilst they study and they are currently not getting enough support from
NUS, NUS Scotland, or their universities or from local authorities.
So please, if you're interested in my policies, vote for me on MyEd during the 8-10 October.
Thank you very much, I'm Daniel Swain.
