Results of UCD SU council elections - more detailed results to come

The results of the student council election count has been taking place this morning. All the results are not officially confirmed as yet. But the
constituencies in which CFE candidates were standing are all in.

The Campaign for free education platform, stood on the programme of a fighting democratic studets union, against registration fees, for truely free education for all with a living grant and abolition of all fees. CFE won 17 seats in total, which means it is now the largest group on council. And effectivly has a functioning majority with the support of some independents. CFE candidates reciened massive votes in many areas. Some of those elected were elected with overall majorities.

This is a major blow to the careerists of the establishment parties in UCD and is a further step towards a fighting democratic students union.
