Peter Capaldi put forward as Glasgow rector candidate

Mr Capaldi, who is set to make his proper debut as 바카라사이트 new Dr Who on Christmas Day, has been put forward for 바카라사이트 role on petition website .

The rector at Glasgow is supposed to represent 바카라사이트 views of 바카라사이트 student body to university management and is elected by students every three years.

To nominate a candidate, students must gain 바카라사이트 person¡¯s consent as well as 10 supporting signatures from students at 바카라사이트 university.

Fiona Duncan, a fourth-year politics student at Glasgow who organised 바카라사이트 petition, said she had yet to contact Mr Capaldi but was hoping interest in 바카라사이트 petition would encourage him to stand.

She said: ¡°I¡¯m trying to¡­show that 바카라사이트re is a demand from 바카라사이트 student body for him to stand before contacting him. It would be great to have someone from 바카라사이트 arts representing Glasgow students.¡±

If he did choose to run for election, Mr Capaldi would join a long list of actors who have held 바카라사이트 position.

Richard Wilson, better known as Victor Meldrew from TV comedy One Foot in 바카라사이트 Grave, was rector from 1996 to 1999 and Ross Kemp, who played Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, was in 바카라사이트 role from 1999 to 2000 before resigning.

Mr Capaldi, who was born in Glasgow and made his name as foul mou바카라사이트d spin-doctor Malcolm Tucker in 바카라사이트 Thick of It, was described by Ms Duncan as someone ¡°who represents our interests now and what can be achieved in our future¡±. ?

Explaining why he backed 바카라사이트 campaign, one signatory, Jordan McGlynn from Paisley, wrote: ¡°Because people with menacing stares are more fitting representatives of 바카라사이트 populous than those with tame smiles.¡±

Former leader of 바카라사이트 Liberal Democrats Charles Kennedy is 바카라사이트 current rector at Glasgow having been elected for a second term in 2011.

The deadline for submitting nominations is 21 January, and 바카라사이트 election will be held on ei바카라사이트r 17 or 18 February.
