EDITORIAL: Whatever you say, say it clear
The last council showed how its members are either not aware of the protocol, or it demonstrated their total disregard for the rules. “Troops off Campus” are not everybody’s cup of tea, and their questions aim to shock and succeed at getting people’s backs up. Trying to discuss whether the Union is opposed to the British army and war is neither here nor there. The issue is that they weren’t given a fair chance to speak. Points of Order do not have to be accepted by the person speaking. Never was anyone allowed to say whether they could accept the Point of Order or not. After proposing a motion and the discussion, a summary is meant to be given, people should not need to shout from the back that they are allowed to speak again. BY EMMA GALLEN FULL STORY
