That brings back a few memories of when I was at St Andrews and the student elections had to have a Re-Open Nominations (RON) option — there was always the obligatory person who thought RON was a real candidate and voted for it, and one year there was a targeted RON campaign against this one guy who'd run for Environment and Ethics officer yet wasn't a member of, or had ever approached, any environment or ethics related societies, while he was a member of the elite all-male Kate Kennedy Club. The number of RONs he got was pretty close to the number of votes for him, and he only just got in.
