Fraternity Domination

The party was formed in order to end the
fraternity domination in politics, to put basic
ideologies into the University politics, and to
end the era in which "the guy with the nicest
suit won the election."

Preceding the vote heated discussions arose
over the reasons for disbanding. Chris Kerr felt
that "it would be a large joke for the people
who voted for us." Mr. Kerr added that people
would consider the new party "a new name for
the same people."
