School Politics...

     I don't actually know how much a co-prez has to do with things going on around the school. I have never ran, nor have I took an interest in school politics. I don't think having a co-prez is totally necessary because the rules, changes and orders, (or whatever the co-prez does) primarily come from the people that are high up on the school board. Does a co-prez go to board meetings? No. Does a co-prez actually have a say in any real changes? Or just what colours the dance should be?
     I think that the elections are definately just popularity contests. Lets take a trip back in time to last year's election.....Jake Brennamin was one of the two that won the election last year. He literally did nothing to win. All his morning announcements were just "Vote Jake" and during his lunch, I believe it went something like this: "Hey everybody, I'm not gonna take up your lunch doing dome stupid game up here (on the stage) so just umm...vote Jake." And he won! Don't get me wrong, I like Jake. I'm just using him as my example. And he knows sooo many people at school. It's all about who you know. So he is living proof that it is just a popularity contest.
