I may be mistaken here, but weren't you heavily involved in holding the last 
re-election on campus, on the grounds that you thought it was unfair?  Did that 
re-election not cost just as much as the ones based on quorum that you are worried 
about?  How do you justify your present position in terms of what you did last year 
(ie getting a re-election when little, if any, change was made in the constituency 
of the SU)?
