Scandal Rocks Oxford Debating Team

Upon reading this article you would think there would be some election violence with the overturning cars, and burning offices in the near future.
But its most recent election has degenerated into farce. It started
with the November victory of Krishna Omkar, and a prompt challenge from
runner-up Charlotte Fischer, who, with the help of a lawyer, managed to convince
investigators that Omkar should be disqualified for violating election
rules.


"Its a tragedy that this has happened," said Jason Keen, a history
student who backed Omkar. "One person wins, one person loses, and the person who
loses steps aside. But Charlotte didn't want to step aside."
