The issue of money allocation: Even though all the points don't concern the current members directly, I'd like to mention where some of the money (correct me if some of this money is from elsewhere and not direct student government money) over the past few years has (and still will) go to: Funding parties, because "we have the money, so why not spend it", funding students to go to christian conferences or pilgrim paths (el camino de santiago) - a big waste of money and disgrace to the former parliamentarians in my opinion, bearing in mind that religion and faith are personal issues and money allocated for the student body (consisting of all walks of life and faith) is given to an exclusive group's interests. (for that matter, i'm even surprised we have a club such as the christian fellowship - back home a muslim's society in a university would be ridiculous). what's left of the rest of the money goes to repair costs of things vandalized by a few people. i had to defend the music club's proposal to buy new equipment last year and had replies such as "do you really need this", "can't we give you half of it" etc. whereas at the end of the year the same parliament was asking the community for ideas to spend the money which was surplus. the same thing happened to the radioclub, and they had major problems getting the basic equipment to operate.
