=== Trivia === | |||

* One candidate requested that their 60 Second Manifesto be taken down, and another failed on all three attempts but never responded to an offer to try again. | |||

* Successful candidate for Student Activities Officer, [hist:Chris Wall|Chris Wall], was also nervous when filming his manifesto at 11pm on Sunday Evening having just got back from Sommerset. Lloyd again threatened to remove clothing, at which point the candidate just got aroused instead. | |||
* Candidate for Senate Rep Stephen Harper did two serious and somewhat successful takes at his manifesto before instead deciding his [http://ystv.co.uk/watch/Elections/2014/60seconds/senate/50/ third take] would be best (and he won too). | |||
