2007 Elections
At the 2007 Scottish elections, EUCUA gave considerable support to one of its members, Peter Lyburn (now vice-president of the committee), who impressively stood at the age of 23 for the seat of Dunfermline West.
Campaigning in Edinburgh South
The bulk of the campus and student population are in the new Edinburgh South constituency. During the '05 General Election, EUCUA worked closely with Gavin Brown, the 29-year old candidate. We leafleted, telephoned and organized the 'Gavin Visiting' personal surgery appointment system, but the seat remained with Nigel Griffiths MP, the Trade Minister. Gavin and EUCUA will doubtless be back at the next election! Gavin is a World Debating Champion and has his own public speaking consultancy company, so we hope to arrange some training in the finer arts of Lefty-Bashing with him.
