It's internet slang. It originated as an abbreviation for "laughing out loud" or "laugh out loud", though this is something of a misnomer, as the user rarely, in fact, laughs out loud when using the abbreviation. Through overuse the abbreviation has descended into moreso a sort of alternative to "I have nothing to say".
In this case bildo is expressing his opinion that NUIGHead's post is laughable, but, perhaps due to the pointlessness of the thread, does not feel that there would be any merit in detailing whether this is because
- the new user claims to be following SU elections, which are almost entirely pointless, around the entire country
- he feels the user is being dishonest in giving the impression that s/he is merely a curious observer
- the OP asks what differences there are between the candidates, as though there were somehow any that were both honest and different from other election candidates in any election ever
- if the candidate were truly a curious observer s/he could either simply Google the dates s/he seeks, or find it on one of the many posters which seem to be plastered all over campus in this inexplicable, unprecedented drive to encourage students to vote
- he has nothing to say, for a change, but feels obliged to comment nonetheless (cf. third sentence)
That is my interpretation of it, at any rate...
