[[MORE]] Izzat Bambang The Duriana National Front (incumbent) “Coming from a military family, I understand honour and responsibility. My vision is of 1Duriana, where our people stand united in building a better future. The forthcoming 2020 Asia Games are a chance for us to showcase our athletes, our infrastructure and our favourable investment climate. The Pantsera Towers, built on my watch was designed by the eminent Aniche Concretepour has broken world records for its height:cost ratio. Throughout The Duriana National Front period, free and fair elections have always been held and monitored by the Duriana Electoral Commission. During these elections the people’s voice will continue to be heard, that’s a personal promise! Safeguards, such as the new electoral computer network and the best indelible ink taxpayer’s money can buy, will ensure repeat voting and other types of fraud cannot take place. I will implement a new employee reward policy through which international businesses selling luxury goods will reward their Durianian employees with in kind payments in exclusive merchandise. Thus increased productivity will lead to better profits and a better dressed Duriana. Our mineral wealth is of strategic importance. Liberalite is unique to Duriana, and used to manufacture wonderous aircraft that can fly themselves. Global exports of the ore, if not its refined product, are bringing new wealth to Duriana’s economy; providing safe, satisfying mining work to local people. Our hugely successful financial sector continues to be the envy of the world. Banking concessions ensure a healthy Durianan economy. Their prosperity is our prosperity and safeguards us from poverty. The new Internal Security and Safety Act will ensure Duriana is kept safe from threats to national security. We will work with the United States of America and other western nations to improve Duriana’s standing in the world, as a tourist destination and global partner in development. We will defend the rights of Duriana on an international stage, highlighting its strength as a centre for big business.” Pradeep Yogiki The Progressive People of Duriana “My Iyana background makes me inherently anti-racist. Rest assured though, my Duri sisters and brothers will retain their traditional quotas of university places and civil service jobs. I have worked with the most innovative technology companies in the world to create a state of the art national network of computers that will accurately count votes making electoral fraud impossible. For me technology is the way to take Duriana through the 21st century and beyond and realise its destiny as the Dragon Nation its cartographers envisaged. Privatisation of essential public services will bring healthy competition to service providers. This cut throat atmosphere will bring much needed improvements to our hospitals and schools and offer choice. I believe industry and big business are the guardian angels of Duriana’s development and prosperity. The latest DNA technology will be used to cut employer costs and reduce paperwork, saving time and speeding up salary payments to ensure a happy and productive workforce. Rumours that I myself am genetically modified are misplaced. If I win the election I promise to crackdown on online indecency, making the web safer for future generations through prohibition of inappropriate material. My plan to exploit our Liberalite reserves to bridge hi and low tech industries in our country is certain to bring a new wave of prosperity and high skilled work to our people. Improvements to our high security prisons will make use of the latest technology. If a prisoner should dare to use a bathroom, we will know how much his weight changed and what he has been eating. Pick me and I will improve relations with our overseas partners in trade and industry, through a mixture of game theory techniques and subtle mind control.” Ping Delima Puteri The People’s Democratic Party of Duriana “Electoral fraud is widespread. We need free and fair elections now! Come to my rallies. Vote for me and choose reform. Women of Duriana face an uphill struggle to get jobs. I want to make sure that every girl has the opportunity to have a good education, and every woman has a chance of a decent job, just like me. Partnership pledges between businesses, our vibrant third sector and employees will help us all work together for a better Duriana. By cooperating with our communities we can build a bigger, more generous society. Don’t wait for governments to mollycoddle you! Take the initiative and do it yourself! Equality between the diverse ethnic people of Duriana can be gained through partnerships with non governmental organisations. Let’s fight prejudice and corruption wherever it occurs. Working with allies such as the US, Europe and our Asian neighbours; we will promote stability and peace in the region. My grandfather built the foundations of this nation. I don’t believe in dynastic politics. Vote for me and future generations will have a legacy to be proud of.” Who you vote for is up to you. The Duriana Electoral Commission will oversee proceedings to safeguard the integrity of the vote. Do remember to bring your identity cards to the polling station. The last date for sending in postal ballot papers is 15th September. We would like to thank our communications consultants Other Asias. See you in October. The Duriana Electoral Commission Asia Elects takes place from 3rd to 6th October at the Kobi Nazrul Centre, 30 Hanbury Street, E1 6QR, and is part of the Art Licks Weekend.
