A great leap forward for student politics in the last few years with Pulse at the helm. Because actions speak louder than words.

Do you remember their leader EFA on the eve of the election falsely accusing Dr Sant that he did not allow his son to attend University? Sour grapes sore losers

Ahhh... What a waste of time these elections. At Higher Secondary school we used to have a fair system, we just elected individuals without creating any parties :) and thus still... they just drank coffee and that's all.

SDM should be ashamed of itself for questionning one`s integrity, with false accausations and misleading facts. One has to remember that the electoral Commission together with the Chief Electoral Commission, are appointed from the students, at the Annual General Meeting. Questioning the integrity of the commission, is putting into doubt the intelligence of students. Is that what`s All About YOU??? Shame! Saying that, I congratulate to all members and candidates for their hard work and endurance. Without any doubt the students at JC merit PULSE as Council...Because their Success is our Ambition!

The best case in which as we Maltese say: L-ispiżjar milli jkollu jtik!

Some may say that Pulse in KSJC were asleep. So students keep on making the wrong choices?

Please SDM, respect the students intelligence!

@ mr mark grech

i highly doubt that the result of the election was because of the Head of the Electoral Commision. I was not even a student at junior college yet in the past 2 years i have heard on countless occasions about the work that the KSJC has done so i do not know how u can state that 'I only hope that a Pulse Council will be there for all students ... unlike the past 2 years where Jc students have witnessed an almost dead Council.' the work that was done is there for everyone to see and i think the result of the elections for the 3rd year in a row proves clearly that the council has been doing their job.. maybe some ppl are just too closed minded to realise what is really going on

Well first of all i shoud really congratulate PULSE for the 3rd consecutive victory. I am now referring to the post by Simon Scicluna. It was clearly that SDM wanted the change, unfortunately for them, they never dared to study what type of change was really needed.

Now to the article, with all the respect, last year a comission member chosen from the SDM camp brought the same issue, then on hi5, which a member posted an article in favour of Pulse, that member was disqualified from voting. The Head of Electoral Commission was the same as this year, as many know, and that year he was called a biased Head of Commision. This year the story repeat itself, and it clearly shows that SDM had lost what was left of it's "demochristianic integrity".

I only hope that a Pulse Council will be there for all students ... unlike the past 2 years where Jc students have witnessed an almost dead Council. Apart from this, in order to have a fair election I think that the Head of the Commission needs to be impartial, free from any biased decisions.

Sour Grapes.... Surely. considering SDM's 3rd loss in a row you would start trying to put in doubt other party's integrity. Which have been confirmed as a good one. Even by the students that have their hope in the student's Organisation PULSE once again. Let's hope that the 'Demochristians' grow up :) & bdw a great thx goes to the pulse administration for another great, fair. and DEMOCRATIC WIN :)

When things do not go as one wishes in his camp always finds things worst in the other camp.

I am an active PULSE member. Yesterday I was also ruled out to vote because I mentioned Pulse on my profile. This shows that if sdm members were ruled out to vote even pulse members were ruled out.

I have no idea whether these accusations are true, but SDM would do well to remember that when they had a majority in last year's KSU Electoral Commission they were just as strict.

No doubt a case of.....sour grapes! SDM should know better that the system used this year was the same system adopted for years in agreement with both organisations! I think that the person writng this press release did not even bother to have a look at the rules governing the whole electoral system at JC. They're clear and thus if SDM has a complaint, it should work on amending these rules, and not try to cast doubts on the electoral commission.
The statement is so misleading that in actual facts, it was an SDM representative in the commission who first brought about the issue of Facebook!!

Finally I think they should also be ashamed of themselves for trying to cast doubts on the integrity of the of the Head of the Electoral Commission who, btw was agreed on by both organisations and had the full support of the College Administration throughout the whole process, since he has years of experience in the field, heading various electoral commissions of KSJC and KSU.

Sour Grapes !

The SDM was and will continue to be the cradle of future demokristjani - the A.I.D.S. of the Once Glorious Partito Nazionalista !

Before accusing other people of the way they acted, I think some people should look carefully at the whole picture and not JUST at Junior College when coming up with accusations that some organisations are not being fair, CLEAN and namely Democratic

Which were the issues within these students association's manifests? I wonder whether these were superficial issues such as who was/is capable of organising the largest party. Why don't these associations actually not unit and stand up to discuss the REAL issues, such as the lack of teaching resources, the lack of suitable lecture scheduling, the lack of facilities and the like. I think that a similar attitude should be adopted by other similar organisations such as the KSU at university. How about making sure that the lecturing staff within certain faculties, such as that of Law and European studies, actually do their work and do not treat students as if they were trash?
