I’m Declan Blaine, and I’m running for Guild President to defend and promote the values that made Australia great—free enterprise, private property, entrepreneurship, and individual independence. As our universities increasingly become breeding grounds for socialist and internationalist agendas, it’s time to push back. The Capitalist Union exists to stand up for students who believe in personal responsibility and economic freedom. I will fight to make the Guild work for all students—not as a political weapon, but as a platform for opportunity, innovation, and real-world success. Let’s restore common sense and ambition to campus.
Vote 1 Declan Blaine for president.
I strongly believe that the Capitalist Union will help students to have a guild where they can thrive in a glorious capitalist environment. Students have frequently, and rightfully, given feedback about the high prices of food, the difficulty of parking on Campus, as well as the increasing anti-capitalist activist slant in many of the guild's ideas and leanings. We at Capitalist Union have a plan to help students thrive in an environment which they can feel more comfortable with, one that focuses on the business of helping students succeed instead of excessive focus on culture war statements. Countries such as Singapore, Japan and South Korea have flourished due to capitalism. I'm running for Capitalist Union because I believe our campus can be as rich, safe and glorious as these countries. In 2025 I look forward to be a part of a party that brings UWA back to its former glory.
As your totally committed and not-last-minute Capitalist Union candidate, I stand for a Guild that rewards grindset, worships innovation, and fully believes every student should become a tech billionaire by Week 12.
I simply cannot stand a Guild that gets distracted by global politics while I’m out here burning half a tank trying to park my diesel-guzzling 4x4 — and when I get to campus, my only study spot options are grass next to a bin, or the business school. Easy choice.
The current Guild has mastered the art of symbolic wins and meaningless policy. But under the Capitalist Union, we’d do the unthinkable: deliver something useful.
Let’s bring back capitalism to the Guild. Because nothing says “student support” like deregulation, buzzwords, and the radical idea that the Guild should maybe do its job. Vote for me (or don’t). I’m just here because my mates needed a name on the ballot.
As your elected Wellbeing Representative for Capitalist Union I would advocate for the following policies:
1.Merit based selection of Wellbeing council.
2.Terminate the emergency and ordinary loan scheme, replacing it with books on resume writing and financial literacy.
3.Take all measures available to end the compulsory SSAF that is taken from students and given to the Guild, for a saving of $365 per student per year!
4.Privatise the food pantry.
5.Financial incentives such as free parking for students who pass a physical standards test. This rewards students who are taking an active role in their own physical and mental health.
6.Work with the university to stop students getting harassed walking past Reid library, and local council to crack down on posters that litter the UWA bus stop.
As a lifelong believer the free market of physical prowess, I’m running for Sports Rep with the Capitalist Union to ensure our athletic facilities remain a bastion of profit-driven excellence. Why share a treadmill when we could privatize cardio? Under my vision, every push-up will generate value, and intramural leagues will be IPO-ready by semester's end. I vow to replace outdated concepts like “team spirit” with performance bonuses and KPI charts. Forget equality, we need to be attracting private equity to guarantee long term security of investment. This is why it's time we introduce betting into InterFac sports. I stand not for inclusion, but for competition, conquest, and a healthy quarterly gain. Vote for me, and together, we’ll make sports fiscally responsible again.
