Election program of Mikhail Prokhorov. Full text

Greet the audience, state your name and the post you are running for. Briefly describe why you personally decided to run.

Here is how Alexander Konovalov, a candidate for deputies of local self-government, does it:

He follows the rules of master speakers and lists his motives, why he needs to be a deputy and what benefits he can bring to people. Do the same.

Speak loudly, clearly and confidently.

Step 2. Current situation

List the current issues that you intend to tackle if you are elected to office. Give your assessment of the current state of affairs in the city - if you are running for the post of mayor, in the district - if you are a deputy of the district council, at the enterprise - if you have put forward your candidacy for the post of head of the enterprise.

Example: US presidential candidate Mitt Romney gives his opinion on US defense problems.

Step 3. What has already been done

If you are running for a second term, list your accomplishments during your first term. Tell me what you managed to do for people: how many roads to repair, what laws to introduce, what ways to optimize production, etc. This is especially important if the speech borders on a speech for the media, that is, journalists are present at it.

Here Vladimir Putin talks about the work done and the groundwork for the future:

Also tell us how you plan to continue what you started.

Step 4. Promises

List what you can do to solve the problems mentioned earlier.

For example, Donald Trump, known for his oratorical skills, promises to deport migrants:

Speak just as simply and clearly.

Important: don't pretend, be yourself. If you love to joke in life, allow yourself to show it on stage. If you are used to expressing your thoughts dryly and briefly, then you can simply voice a numbered list of plans.

Step 5 Results

If possible, give specific dates when voters will be able to see the results of your activities if they vote for you. Also try to be specific about the promises. For example, you are running for the post of head of an enterprise that is engaged in passenger transportation. Then say not just “I will be able to buy new cars”, but “I will buy 20 new Mercedes minibuses”.

For example, Hillary Clinton, speaking with a campaign speech, promised a pay rise.

But she acted like a good speaker, naming the exact numbers. “I want the minimum wage to be raised to $12 an hour,” she said.

You also need to be as precise as possible in your promises.

Step 6. Repeat the basic

Restate and briefly repeat 3-5 key promises.

Here is how candidate Gennady Gudkov lists them briefly and point by point:

Step 7: Call to Action

But do not be too intrusive, otherwise you will have the same embarrassment as with Barack Obama.

Speaking in Maryland, he repeatedly urged everyone to come and vote for the Democrats, said that there could be no excuses. People did not want to listen to this and began to disperse.

For me, a great country is peacetime patriotism. In fact, patriotism and a great country, Russia, is only great when a person is comfortable and calm in it, when he is guaranteed a normal old age, and so on. I don't want to engage in this populism. And only this archaic power can do this. I believe that today all candidates, including Vladimir Putin, represent the archaic, absolutely antediluvian Soviet power. This can be done by a new power, which knows its place and which releases the energy of people outward, taking care of the weak and disadvantaged. And this is true patriotism, the patriotism of the authorities. So far, patriotism is demanded from the people, while the authorities are getting fat.

But you understand, we understand very well that where the number of bureaucrats meets the demand of society and the population and performs its functions, power is inexpensive there. Even with the high salaries of officials, it is not expensive. And in this case, you have enough money in the same France, Europe to pay so much for children that they are born, and even in poor families they have the opportunity to eat normally and get a good education. When the power is expensive, thieves, when in fact a huge amount, up to forty billion dollars a year, is spent on the absolutely illegal existence of officials, with their formally low salaries, then there is not enough for benefits or anything. If you make nine out of forty-eight ministries, and only a part of these ministries will deal only with the social sphere and security, you will see that the child allowance may not be five hundred rubles, but the child allowance may be three thousand rubles, and then the family will be at least some somehow protected.

I do not agree with the flat scale with such wild taxation of enterprises. I was silent about it, I was on the team, now I am an independent candidate. I do not agree with the fact that no one answered either on the crisis of the ninety-eighth year, or on the depreciation of deposits in the ninety-first year. And in general, I do not think that there was a liberal policy in Russia, it was market Bolshevism. But I also believe that Vladimir Putin is not a liberal president. He is trying to build an Orthodox, authoritarian state with a market, but without democracy, surrounding himself with secret services and snickering officials. And this is his terrible mistake.

And I do not limit budgetary wages to any amounts, I believe that they should ensure not survival with a living wage, but a living wage of two thousand one hundred and forty rubles. It turns out that you receive a survival salary, but you must ensure the quality of life; the quality of life is changing, growing, and for scientists, especially, and for teachers and doctors, it is very important to keep up with this quality. Because if a doctor does not improve his qualifications, if a teacher cannot receive new methods, and if a scientist does not have enough money to work on the Internet, or, for example, travel to international conferences, then he is not a scientist.

And now the question of the source. I repeat once again, there is plenty of money. Do not believe this government, which says that there is no money. I told you. Look, eighty billion dollars is only the reserves of the Central Bank, accumulated petrodollars, which are pumped in just in case something happens to the ruble. Two hundred and seventy billion, we get about ninety billion dollars - this is the government's reserve, which is not spent on anything. It's like a bad housewife who puts it in the basement, and gives people like this how it gives you crumbs. This is all the money, plus forty billion dollars, plus twelve percent of GDP - we are the taxpayers, including you, pay the bureaucrats.

After all, you pay a tax to the medical insurance fund - it's not a tax, but you don't get anything back. And so each of us pays, we are simply robbed every day. So the right question is what to do about it. There must be real insurance, the contract must be within the framework of compulsory state health insurance between you and the doctor, and you must individually know what services you receive, for what amount, and for which services you must pay extra. None of us knows this. The doctor gets nothing. Everything is taken by the hospital administration.

Therefore, for me the main thing is the reform of power. It looks like you know today's authorities, you are all modern now, you are used to working in a competitive environment, in the hardest market life. But this is our modern society dressed in this old decrepit Soviet dress of absolutely greedy, boundless, immoral power, which lives only by holding its position.

Therefore, my first decree is a decree on the change of power, the reduction of these ministries, the reduction of expenses for officials and, accordingly, a different use of all these reserves. And you get ten, twenty times.

Enough bullying when they propose that administrative reform be carried out by the main participant in the bureaucratic system itself, either the prime minister or Alyoshin. Useless. This is the political will of the president himself, which uses the services of completely independent experts. And the second condition, if you want to carry out a reform of power, is that President Putin must explain what kind of power he wants to build, what path awaits Russia in general, unfortunately no one knows this.

If we want to fight poverty, then we must for the first time make power hired by the people. I am probably the only honest presidential candidate who is ready to agree that the people hired me to make them happy.

A good campaign speech can convince, inspire and motivate people, and compensate for the weak aspects of the campaign. With the efforts of an experienced speaker, the speech will sound natural, but in fact, the effectiveness of the text is given by specific methods that are used for a variety of campaign speeches. With these tricks, your speech before the elections to the student or city council will be on everyone's lips.

Steps

How to Give a Student Council Candidate Speech

Do not hurry. It should be understood that the audience does not read the text, but perceives the speech by ear. When writing a campaign speech, it is important to remember that the text intended for listeners should be different from the text for readers.

• During a speech, many people become nervous, as a result of which the pace of speech accelerates. Such people are not credible. If you tend to be nervous, then separate the words of speech (literally leave five spaces between each word on the page) to pronounce the text measuredly.

1. Communicate with the public in a conversation format. Despite the fact that you are giving a monologue, your speech should be like a conversation. Do not worry about the speech sounding monolithic, pause, interrupt for questions to yourself.

   • Don't go overboard with ease. If you want to lead people, you need to earn their trust. There are not many successful leaders in society, so it is important to show that you are more capable than most people in order to make your speech sound convincing. Find the golden mean. Try to act a little more formal than in normal conversation.

2. Use simple and specific words. Most often, students have a short attention span and a limited vocabulary. Each sentence should contain no more than fifteen words.

   • Bad example: "We need to rethink the timing of the lunch break so that it falls at a more appropriate time, because the current schedule is causing everyone's dissatisfaction."
   • A good example: "We have to have lunch at 10:30 in the morning. Many people still have breakfast at this time! This is unacceptable! By 2:00, half of the students begin to starve to death. Lunch time should be different. This is obvious."

3. Read the text aloud. People will only hear you once. Read the speech the way you plan to pronounce the text at the speech. Surely there are words and phrases that cut the ear and that you literally stumble over. Change those sentences.

   • Try reading the speech in front of a mirror or camera to maximize your focus.

   The Structure of an Election Speech

   1. Consider potential audience. Before working on the text, it is important to consider your future listeners. Are you reaching out to all students? For one course? One academic group?

      • If you are giving a speech to one group, then you do not need to discuss only general problems from the life of students. Talk about how a common problem affects a particular group and how the issue should be addressed.
      • For example, don't say, "The breaks between classes are too short." Say, “All of us have probably been reprimanded at least once for being late to class. It is simply impossible to go from the second to the sixth building in such a short time. Choose me as your representative and I will settle this matter with the administration.”

   2. Plan your speech. Any text has a beginning, middle and end. Immediately think over the plan so as not to go astray when working on the text.

      Get straight to the point. Start your campaign speech with a main idea or topic. Beating around the bush won't work, because people naturally like to talk and think only about themselves. Convince them to listen to you. For example:

      • Do not say: “My name is Nikolai Baranov, I am running for the city council. I am in…”.
      • Start with the main point: “All the citizens are tired of the parking situation in the main square. I'm sure everyone is unhappy."
      • There are different ways. Tell a story from your life, a joke, a difficulty that has arisen, or visually describe the problem. It is important to get attention as soon as possible. Don't expect your words to interest listeners on their own. Attention needed deserve.

   3. Bring evidence. Always value the attention of your listeners. In the middle of your speech, clarify the points raised in the opening and reassure people that you can make a difference, but be careful.

      • Competently combine facts, emotions and actions. The facts alone will make the listeners bored. Emotions drain people quickly. Discussion of actions is distrustful due to the lack of factual evidence and emotional attachment.

   4. Finally, double your bets. The final part of the speech is as important as the introduction. This is your last chance to impress, so up your stakes to be remembered.

      • Continuing with the parking example, there is no need to talk about the width of the new parking lot and the future number of parking spaces in the main square at the end. Expand the scope of the problem and show that without you, the inhabitants will be vulnerable, and with you they will only become stronger.
      • “It's not just about parking spaces. This situation is symptomatic of our city council's chronic illness. We asked, we demanded. We did everything in our power. But now it’s time to show that we can’t be ignored.” Give the listener a choice: vote for you or stay on the sidelines. Most will choose the first option.

   How to Write an Effective Political Campaign Speech

   1. Don't forget the ground rules. The political nature of the text is no reason to ignore all the basic requirements for writing.

      • The speech should contain a clear beginning, middle and ending.
      • The opening is meant to grab attention, the middle is meant to spark interest, while the ending is meant to get listeners nodding their heads in approval, getting to their feet and clapping.

   2. Don't go off topic. Your speech should not be scattered. Incoherent speech is confusing, and the speaker gives the impression of a confused person. No one will follow a confused leader.

On April 9, I visited the studio of the radio station "Stolitsa", where the recording of appeals to voters of candidates for deputies of the Minsk City and Minsk Regional Soviets is being recorded.

Already at the station, it turned out that the speech should last no more than 5 minutes, so the speech prepared and rehearsed in advance had to be edited and cut back on the spot - for everything about everything 15 minutes. This turned out to be an unpleasant surprise for me.

Thanks to the employees of the radio station - understanding the excitement and inexperience of many candidates, they encouraged, gave useful advice, and, in general, demonstrated correctness and professionalism, which is nice. On the subject of excitement: it is so great that some candidates cannot cope with it and do not show up for the recording at all. For example, two people whose recordings were assigned right in front of me never came to the radio station.

Full text of my radio message:

Hello dear listeners,

My name is Irina Viktorovna Ptashnik. I am a candidate for deputies of the Minsk City Council in the twenty-ninth precinct of the Western constituency.
I hope that my voters can now hear me - residents of the Zapad and Sukharevo microdistricts, whose houses are located on the streets of Yankovsky, Sharangovich, Goretsky, Shirma, Shkolnaya, Novaya, Kovalev, Kuznechnaya, Kolkhoznaya, Machulsky, Odintsov, Yakubovsky, Pritytsky , Burdeyny, Lobank, on Torgovy Lane or Tymoshenko Lane.
Many of you have already seen my information leaflets on the stands, my web page and are familiar with my biography. However, I think it would not be superfluous to briefly touch on the main facts once again. So, on the seventeenth of April I will celebrate my birthday, I turn fifty-three years old. I have two adult children. I have higher education. After graduating from the technical school of transport construction, I came as a foreman to the construction of the Minsk-2 airport, and also participated in the construction of the Palace of Railway Workers and many other metropolitan facilities. I entered the correspondence department of the Belarusian Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Economics and Organization of Construction, after which I worked as an engineer in construction organizations in Minsk. In the early nineties, like many then, I had to retrain and I mastered the profession of an accountant. Now I hold the position of chief accountant in an organization specialized in the supply of equipment and the construction of water treatment facilities. In addition, in the year 2006, I was elected chairman of the building society number 499. This is my second job, despite all the difficulties, it brings me great satisfaction. Some things, quite simple at first glance, actually require enormous time costs, organizational efforts, not to mention material investments. A freshly painted porch in their house or a new linoleum on their floor is taken for granted by many, and they do not even suspect how much careful planning was required, how funds were raised to pay the costs, how the negotiations with the contractor went, what control is needed and what patience is required to finish the job. to end. Having gone through all this personally, believe me, it was difficult to hold back a proud smile when I received the entrances of our houses after cosmetic repairs. After all, this was the first renovation in our homes in nearly twenty years!
I have been living in the "West" for more than twenty years, my children grew up here, my friends and neighbors live here, I sincerely love our area and consider it my home, but I also see many shortcomings that can and should be corrected. I am sure that as a deputy I will be useful to my district and the city as a whole. Therefore, I gladly accepted the initiative of my nomination. I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and I hope that in the future you will also show your confidence in me and vote for my candidacy on election day.

Dear friends,
The election campaign has gained momentum. Leaflets printed, meetings organized. The candidates have formulated and presented their proposals - it is time for the voters to think about their choice.

The choice of your representative in the local council is a task that is best approached from the standpoint of common sense and practicality. And this means that, when evaluating a candidate’s program, we must simultaneously evaluate his competence, education, professionalism, experience, personal qualities, all together necessary for proposals and promises to be realized, and not remain empty projects.

As a member of the Minsk City Council, I see my first task as work to improve the quality of life in the “sleeping” areas of our city. I am ready to offer practical and effective, and most importantly, CONCRETE solutions to such pressing problems as:
- lack of parking spaces and passage of cars in the yards.
- Arrangement of green areas, truly suitable for walking and recreation.
- development of the infrastructure of the districts.
In many cases, such simple and low-cost measures as the organization of through passages, the expansion of courtyard passages due to a reasonable reduction in the green zone, the competent placement of objects and structures of the courtyard infrastructure, can, if not solve the problem, then at least seriously alleviate the situation.
A reserve that can be used, including to solve the problem of a lack of places for driving and parking cars in the yards, can be the areas freed up in the course of thoughtful reductions and redevelopment of green areas. Indeed, in a number of cases, a reasonable reduction in such zones and their reconstruction (following the example of large European cities) in the format of smaller, but more efficiently developed sites, alleys and squares is an ideal alternative. At the same time, the costs of such arrangements, in view of the small size of the areas subject to high-quality development, are relatively low, and, in addition, can be reduced even if local residents are actively involved in the improvement work.
To assess the possibility of implementing my proposals, as one of the first deputy initiatives, I intend to propose to the City Council an initial audit of courtyard territories.
I see the development of infrastructure in the districts as another area for efforts.
The quality of urban life, of course, depends on the development of infrastructure. At the same time, it is important to avoid one-sided perception, understanding that we are talking not only about such important social facilities as polyclinics, schools, kindergartens, but also about commercial infrastructure: shops, cafes, sports clubs, swimming pools, cinemas - which also fulfill their useful function, providing comfort and living standards. And if the first is the concern of the state, then the development of the second can and should be provided by business. Therefore, I see my deputy position in finding the right balance of interests in order to ensure the dynamic social and economic development of our region and city. I intend to actively participate in the discussions, analyze the proposals of the executive branch, as well as the initiatives of the Council, drawing on all my knowledge and experience.

Higher education in construction and economics, extensive practical experience, including administrative and social activities as the head of a large housing cooperative, allow me to confidently navigate economic, political and social processes, assess prospects and make informed decisions, consistently implementing useful ideas and defending the interests of their constituents in every possible way.

Again and again I appeal to my voters, residents of the Minsk micro-districts Zapad and Sukharevo. We are all friends and neighbors! I urge you on April 25 to come to the polls and vote for me. I hope that an active life position, healthy optimism, competence and professionalism will find enough supporters.

I wish you all health and well-being. It was Irina Viktorovna Ptashnik, a candidate for the Minsk City Council in the twenty-ninth polling station of the Western District.

Dear residents of the Khabarovsk Territory, participants and authorized organizations of the Primaries-2011!

One of the key factors that will contribute to the withdrawal of our society from the social and economic crisis is control and responsibility at all levels of management and management. This has been said from high tribunes for several years. But the inertia of the existing management system is great. Therefore, it is necessary to help it with the infusion of new personnel and the inclusion of more advanced methods of managerial work.

Today, most key management positions are occupied by men. This is good. But, as the experience of history and modernity shows, women are better at real responsible control and social altruism. The keepers of the family hearth and the surrounding society at the genetic level successfully manage many enterprises of the country, head departments, departments and ministries of the government of the country. And there should be even more such women in order to create a reasonable balance in relation to male managers.

I am a mother of three children, so I know very well what Russian families need. Knowing firsthand about the problems and joys of a unit of society, it is easier and more accurate for a deputy - a mother of many children to submit initiative documents and pass laws related to the healthy formation and life of families in Russia.

I also want to say that having considerable experience as the head of a medium-sized business, I am not limited to caring only for my own well-being. Part of the profits of the audit center "Nika" is regularly transferred to citizens of organizations that need it. Of course, our own strength is not enough to help others, so we are creating a charitable foundation for social support of the inhabitants of the Far East - "Nika". Its goal is specific targeted support and coordination of the efforts of those citizens, businessmen and organizations that have decided to carry out charitable deeds. The work of the foundation will be open to society and transparent to all those interested in its specific projects and results.

People's deputies in the federal authorities must necessarily express the interests of the healthy majority of Russian society. Only this guarantees positive results today and opens up new bright prospects for the development of the country!

Campaign speech at public hearings in Sovetskaya Gavan and Pereyaslovka (August 5-9, draft):

Dobr

Good afternoon, dear participants, citizens and authorized public organizations!

I am Natalia Suslova, a representative of the Union of Employers of the Khabarovsk Territory. Member of the United Russia party. Member of the "Union of Business Women" of the Khabarovsk Territory. I support all social projects of Svetlana Zhukova. Financial Director of the Center for Combating Corruption in Government Bodies of the Khabarovsk Territory. Born in Khabarovsk. Mother of many children. Married.

Why did I go to the primaries? Yes, because I really want to work in a team with enterprising people who really want and can change the lives of ordinary people in the Far East for the better. As a believer, I believe that it is necessary to help those who find it difficult. I am very grateful to fate that even I, a man of the people, can compete on equal terms with such respected people as Vyacheslav Ivanovich Shport, Sergey Alekseevich Khokhlov, Alexander Nikolaevich Sokolov and many others.

Today, most of the key positions in the management of society are occupied by men. This is good. But, as the experience of history and modernity shows, women are better at real responsible control and social altruism. The keepers of the family hearth and the surrounding society at the genetic level successfully manage many enterprises of the country, head departments, departments and ministries of the government of the country. And there should be even more such women in order to create a reasonable balance in relation to male managers.

I am a mother of three children, so I know very well what Russian families need. Knowing firsthand about the problems and joys of the cell of our society, it is easier and more accurate for a deputy - a mother of many children to submit initiative documents and pass laws regarding the healthy formation and happy life of families in Russia.

Having considerable experience in working as a manager of a medium-sized business, I was not limited to caring only for my own material well-being. Part of the profits of the NIKA Audit Center is transferred to a number of citizens and organizations that need it. At present, we are creating the NIKA Charitable Foundation for Social Support of the Residents of the Far East. Its goal is concrete targeted assistance to people. The work of the foundation will be open to society and transparent to the citizens and businessmen themselves, who do charity work within their own means.

I have experience in elections. I am the chairman of the election commission at a polling station in the Central District of Khabarovsk. She was an assistant to the deputy of the regional Duma. In general, I take an active civic position. I do not remain indifferent to the problems of people. There is a huge potential of energy for serious work.

Pay attention in your vote to women - future deputies who participate in the primaries. None of us is in the top 10 voting leaders. Are there no deserving ones? Popular opinion: “That a woman should cook borscht, raise children and take care of her husband is good! And that a cook cannot govern the state.” This is what most voters think wrongly. But practice shows the opposite, that many women can combine everything at once: “putting it on the shelves”, appoint responsible in each direction and control the quality of work. A good mother has happy children, a deputy who works with soul and responsibility has satisfied people. And who better than anyone else knows what Russian families, children, teenagers and young citizens who are just starting to build their adult lives need?

My program:

Being a mother of many children, I am better than many other deputies, and especially men, I know the problems of families that need to be addressed at the highest state level. Namely:

Support and promotion of a healthy and complete family, large families, to prevent divorce, and that children live in complete families. Affordable housing.

Real, not formal benefits for pregnant women and mothers with children under 3 years old;
- State control over the quality of baby food (dairy products, cereals, fruit mixtures and purees): it's no secret that today almost all milk, including children's milk, is produced using the so-called powdered milk of unknown origin, and juices, lemonades and packaged confectionery in most cases are not made from food products at all, which is unacceptable for the growing organisms of our kids.
- Improving the quality of medical examination and, if necessary, care for mothers and children.
- A sufficient number in the cities of children's creative studios for children of preschool age and sports sections of all kinds of directions for teenagers and young men. At the same time, the main thing is that these creative studios and sports schools should be accessible to all social strata of the population.
- Reducing utility tariffs or providing benefits to families with children, especially for families with many children.
- Providing families with many children with the opportunity to build their own home at actual, and not at market prices (ie, many times less).
- The introduction of strict liability for the media and Internet resources for the publication of information materials that can harm the psyche and healthy worldview of children.
- Building effective guarantees for the safe life of the family in the conditions of modern society.
- Establishment of an incentive system for enterprises, organizations and individuals that contribute to the healthy development of childhood and motherhood.

The partner of the enterprise I head is the Khabarovsk family magazine "Flowers of Life". We carry out joint projects. For example, the annual competitions "Expectant mother". We give gifts to children from orphanages. Together with the children's center "Rise" of Elena Parfenovna Larionova, we award prizes for the first places in competitions. Together with the Russian Orthodox Church, we are helping the home of a tiny women's colony.

- Support for the elderly, veterans and the disabled. Decent pension.

Free sports sections, modernization of stadiums, support for gifted children. I studied at school No. 76 in Khabarovsk, we had a sports class, from grades 4 to 10 we went in for all kinds of sports, went to competitions. It was interesting and we had no time to run around the streets, drink beer and smoke.

Support for young professionals after graduating from educational institutions (internships at enterprises). For young people - decent work with earnings with which you can live, and not exist. I am a member of the club of graduates of the Academy of Economics and Law of Khabarovsk. From September 1, I will share my professional experience with the students of the academy free of charge.

Control over labor legislation, so that the rights of employees and employers are not infringed. I am an economist by education, I graduated from the Faculty of Economics and Labor Sociology at the Academy of Economics and Law. The second education is the presidential program of managerial personnel for the national economy.

- Support for public and charitable organizations.

Control over tax legislation to make life easier for small, medium and large businesses, so that enterprises do not go into the shadows, from which the budget does not get large amounts of taxes necessary for the development of the social sphere. I am also a partner of the Fund for Support of Small and Medium Enterprises of the Khabarovsk Territory. I teach beginner entrepreneurs the basics of doing business for free. Participated in the creation of a textbook for beginner entrepreneurs.

Support for agricultural producers, affordable loans and representation of sales markets. A male candidate spoke and said that he alone was touching on this problem. It is not true. I've been talking about this 6 times in the primaries!

All of the above is in constant development, so the list of relevant assistance for our society will continue.

I ask you to carefully consider my program and help me to implement it with your votes and suggestions.

Many thanks to everyone who will support the election program of Natalia Suslova!
