		<description><![CDATA[With debate on the referendum to impeach UCD’s Student Union President Katie Ascough taking over the campus, a recurring thread among students is the question “how did this happen?” Perhaps wondering how she was elected in the first place is not an effective use of our time. After all, she ran a colourfully well-funded campaign, &#8230; <a href="http://www.universityobserver.ie/comment/opinion-comment/an-su-president-for-some-not-all/">Continued</a>]]></description>

She was not elected to break the law. Nor should she be expected to. Katie Ascough sought legal advice.

		<description><![CDATA[This impeachment referendum is not about abortion. A golden rule of public relations and politics for years has been: If you don’t like what is being said, change the conversation. If you can control the narrative then nothing can come out of the blue and surprise you.
