Official VUWSA Election Mobilization

The CV-Padders
Won't Save You.

Student politics is broken. It’s full of polite careerists looking for parliamentary internships. Lenora Vejlebo is running to put the fear back into Wellington power-brokers.

Two Surrenders. One Real Fight.

Blake Burrows

Status: Compliant
CAN’T STAND UP TO LUXON.
  • Treats student advocacy like a junior networking audition for the National Party.
  • Believes in "polite stakeholder negotiations" while government cuts bleed student welfare dry.
  • Will never run a disruptive campus strike that threatens his future Beehive connections.

Pascal Buda

Status: Passive
WON'T FIGHT FOR YOUR RENT OR FARES.
  • Completely missing in action while Metlink slashes routes and hikes bus fares.
  • Refuses to publicly challenge Wellington’s exploitative rental cartel.
  • Specializes in sitting quietly on endless university committees where nothing changes.

Lenora Vejlebo

Status: The Threat
WILL SCARE THEM INTO ACTION.
  • Uncompromising, militant student representation that disrupts council chambers and campus elites.
  • Zero interest in playing nice with ministers who view tertiary students as loose change.
  • The only candidate committed to mass student action, direct protests, and material victories.

What We Force Them To Concede:

1

A War On Slumlords & Mouldy Flats

Blacklisting sub-standard student accommodation. Direct targeting of Wellington landlord syndicates and MPs profiting off damp, unlivable flats.

2

Universal Half-Price & Free Public Transit

No more polite submissions to the Regional Council. Unyielding campus mobilisations until Snapper fares are permanently slashed.

3

Direct Resistance to Luxon's Austerity

Transforming VUWSA from a tame service desk into a fighting union ready to shut down business-as-usual across Kelburn, Pipitea, and Te Aro.
