It is real: Pulse has lost again, and this time, the gap is even bigger than it has ever been before. SDM has won the uncountable consecutive victory and Pulse may have just hit rock bottom after having lost the KSJC (Kunsill Studenti Junior College) elections with 280 block votes, together with the KSU (Kunsill Studenti Universitarji) elections with more than 1000 votes.
The Pulse team might have lost yesterday’s election, but they surely haven’t lost their dignity. They contested an election that they knew would likely result in a loss. The easy way out would have been not to contest these elections at all, yet, Pulse opted to face the challenge and embrace it as a team. By doing this, Pulse showed that they truly believed in the student and wanted to give each student a choice.
SDM might be appearing as virtually impossible to beat right now, yet, in seven months’ time, elections will be taking place again, this time at Junior College, where the game is quite different. Within Junior College, no Social Policy Commissioner meetings are held, which arguably played a huge role in yesterday’s result. Instead, there are three thousand students between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, the majority of whom will be influenced during the Freshers’ Week period.
Instead of feeling miserable about yesterday’s result, the best way forward for the organisation is to analyse straightaway what led to this disappointment, particularly the defeat they suffered in the last KSJC Elections. More important than that, they need to see what went wrong in the past few years in order to turn the tables around and return back to their winning times; the times when Pulse was SDM’s nightmare and anything that SDM attempted to do during the Junior College campaign lead to an easy victory for Pulse.
Yet, those times are gone, together with the decisive executive members that Pulse had during those days. What they have left now are eighteen executive members who are eager to restore Pulse back to its victorious roots.
