This is bullshit! I cannot believe that something so easily faked(Team No photocopies a Yes poster, stamps it in a pile of No posters so it doesn't get noticed, and posts it - not that that's what necessarily happened, but it easily could) results in a disqualification and the voiding of a student petition. I've said before that I wasn't backing either side, I wasn't on that petition, and I wasn't planning to vote, but I'm behind Weber 100% on this one(especially since I've seen a couple No posters over Yes ones, which I decided to move instead of photograph).
What disappoints me the most, however, is the fact that the Feds has been so obviously biased in this one. Between Lehman's BS motion to support the No side("responsible government" is not the reason for this, you bloody liar), the decisions to force Team Yes to mutilate all of their posters, the decision not to allow time for an appeal on any of their other decisions, despite the fact that an appeals process does exist(if Yes had waited to process the appeal, then they would have been fined extra or possibly DQ'd for missing the compliance deadline, despite the decision being in appeals as of said deadline), and now this, I don't think that this referendum was even close to fair. The Feds should be ashamed of itself.
But I suppose I should look on the bright side here - if I ever want to win a Feds election by default, I now have a perfect strategy. It could be worse, right?
