Sarah Thompson is running unopposed for the role of AU president. While it is hugely implausible bordering on impossible that RON will win, STAR will look briefly at her role and why she implores you not to vote RON.

Thompson, like Mathewson, is running for re-election and a lot of her focus is being placed on continuity and stability. What cannot be denied is her role in the AU redevelopment and her experience in the role will only help as the development continues. Thompson also plans to improve transport for sports clubs which has previously acted as a barrier for away games in the BUCS league.

What Thompson really wants to emphasize however is increasing the overall involvement when it comes to sports. She wants to increase accessibility to the AU and plans to do so via the creation of the Saints Sports Guide. What must be commended is Thompson’s commitment to her role as AU president and even despite running a one-horse race, looks committed to providing a clear manifesto with achievable goals.
