My Principal Rigged my School election 2: The Political Party (within School) I created

Update on My School Election Saga: The Political Party I Founded

I wanted to share a quick update on the school election situation. Although I’m not the head boy, it turns out that anyone who runs for a position in the Student Leadership Team gets a role, regardless of whether they receive just one vote or a significant portion of the school’s votes. While I find this system a bit unfair, I’m moving forward.

In my previous post, I didn’t mention that I created my own political party focused on addressing student concerns. I even went so far as to draft a full party constitution—twice, since I just updated it recently! I’m planning to hold elections in March, but first, I need to grow our membership to ensure we have a larger voting base. We’re also gearing up to run candidates for Form Captains and key Senior Student Leadership positions like Head Boy and Head Girl. This way, we can maintain a strong student voice, especially since the current Head Boy and Head Girl seem to downplay serious issues like bullying—like, seriously, what’s up with that?

You might be wondering what will happen if Mr. Principal tries to block our candidates again. I have a plan: we’ll put forward multiple candidates for Head Boy and Head Girl, some of whom will be secret members of our party, allowing us to retain some level of control. Overall, I really believe we can bring about positive change in our school or, at the very least, be the most transparent members of the Student Leadership Team.

For context, here’s a link to my previous post: My Principal Rigged My School Election : r/school where I may have been a tad overdramatic.

  1. It sounds like you’re really dedicated to making a difference at your school, and it’s great to see you taking initiative with your own political party! It’s unfortunate that the elections seem rigged, but your plan to expand membership and run multiple candidates is smart. By having a solid team of candidates, you could really amplify student voices and bring attention to issues like bullying.

    Creating a party constitution shows you’re serious about this, and it’s great that you’re thinking critically about how to navigate the system. Just make sure to keep your group’s activities transparent to build trust within the student body. You might also want to consider ways to engage with students directly about their concerns, so your platform truly reflects what they want. Best of luck with everything—you definitely have the potential to create positive change!
