Candidate for the position of Development and Democracy Officer
Richard "Vote for me" Backhurst

Hey Guys, no-one likes reading long Manifestos and no-one likes writing them either so I'll try to keep this short. I'm a PostGraduate student studying a Masters in Philosophy. I also completed my Bachelors degree in Philosophy and Economics at Keele and in my 3rd year I was President of Philosophy Society. Some of my favourite memories at Keele are, when I ate a Ghost chilli for a bet, Going for my first walk in Keele woods and getting lost for an hour, meeting my now Girlfriend, and becoming the Philosopher King of Philosophy society.

Maybe this is a personal thing but I am always filled with sadness when people tell me they have never explored the woods of Keele, I have even been told this by students in their 3rd year! I would want to lead the SU into performing events that are within the Keele Woods, perhaps guided tours of the Lakes or even a night out based in Keele Woods.
I never personally have had issues with the washing machines on campus, I follow the instructions and they work for me (perhaps I got lucky, perhaps not), and the internet may make it seem like a disproportional issue. However, I was reading about Leeds University offering students 20 free washing credits, I think this is something I would like to look into.

1. Look into different approaches to Laundry, perhaps similar to Leeds University
2. Look into more variety on nights out in the SU (e.g. Live music, Stand Up comedians)
3. The SU to have events based in Keele Woods (e.g. maybe a guided walk, an outside concert in late spring)
