16.51 See you soon! Bye! 16.50 And that’s it. Apologies for the poor coverage. We will strive to do better – and we seem to have been caught in a Tab – SUSU feud. 16.39 Nearly 80 candidates in all! 16.38 That’s it for now. 16.37 Oh well. 16.37 Rumours are SUSUtv were the break in the information supply chain 16.33 Also, just to confirm; there is no Ben Anderson running for President. 16.32 Here is a full list of ALL the candidates running if you’re interested. 16.31 We did the best we could with the information we had. 16.31 Sorry about the somewhat crap coverage there. 16.31 Alot. 16.30 And there, we are. Done. Not sure about how many candidates there are there in total. 16.30 Seven candidates announced 16.27 And now time for the big dog, the ultimate BNOC – President! 16.27 Could be a split between the PA & Media votes there. 16.27 Two candidates for VP Democracy & Creative Industries 16.25 Purely the person in charge of media departments, Performance Arts and a few other societies like Union Films 16.24 No, it’s not something out 1984. 16.24 VP Democracy and Creative Industries now 16.23 But, for those of you who like the suspense, stick with us! 16.23 We do realise by the way that the Tab have published all the candidates names 16.23 Only two candidates 16.22 Now VP Education (formerly VP Academic Affairs) 16.20 And running for the position are: 16.19 Straight to VP Engagement – a positon the Tab had less than pleasant words for 16.15 Remember to take at look at SUSUtv’s coverage, with exclusive interviews with the candidates 16.14 Straight to VP Sports Development, with four candidates: 16.13 No (somewhat) expected re-run from Nicole then. 16.13 And the candidates for VP Student Communties are: 16.12 Next: VP Student Communties 16.11 5 people going for one positions there! 16.11 And the candidates for VP Welfare are: 16.10 The Sabbatical Positions 16.09 Anyway, onto the big guns. 16.03 There seems to be a break in the information supply chain. 16.02 Thanks for the abuse everyone; we are indeed live-blogging without names. 16.01 So thats the Student Leaders candidates announced; we don’t actually have a list of names. 15.57 A few hotly-contested ones here: three people going for Edge Editor, two for SUSUtv, two for SURGE and two for societies officer. 15.56 It’s now creative industries time (we still don’t understand the name either) 15.54 It’s RAG Officer now; two candidates there. Unfortunately, no names at the moment. 15.50 It was nothing to do with us, but apologies anyway Boey Jarton 15.49 (Publishing embargoed information may not help) 15.48 And if anyone has seen the comment below, the Tab have indeed been removed from the Cube. 15.48 Basically, its been one candidate for every positions so far. At last, I far as I can work out. 15.46 So we’re covering student leader at the moment 15.42 All the BNOCs are here currently; with all of the vice-presidents who aren’t re-running in attendance. 15.42 (Turns out we are allowed to stay) 15.41 And we’re off! 15.40 Or at least only one of us is. It’s all kicking off. 15.38 Bit of scandal at the moment. Rumours we aren’t allowed in the room. 15.37 In case you don’t know the big reveal is, it’s basically just a fancy name for announcing the candidates for the 2013 SUSU Elections 15.36 Hello! And welcome to our live coverage of the The Big Reveal
Why is SUSU ostracising their best and most far reaching form of advertising for the SUSU elections by trying to block the Soton Tab from reporting on it? Petty.

Embargoed information was only published because the Tab were forced to leave for no other reason than the pettyness of the Sabbs and SUSU in general. Shame.

Well, its crap if you can’t tell us the names. Classic.
