[/center]After announcing his intention to run for President Yesterday, the incumbent Prime Minister, Mr. Justice Michael Dervin OCS, took a break from his busy and hectic work schedule to visit, the largest and most exciting City in Ocia, November City.
Making a speech to the crowds which had gathered to greet Mr. Justice Dervin, with cheers and cries of “Dervin For President” and an ocean of signs which were waved and bore the slogans, “Dervin for Prešernova Palace” and “For a Better Ocia, Vote Dervin”. In his speech Mr. Dervin announced that, if he were elected to Prešernova Palace he would work hard to build a stronger and more vibrant Economy for Ocia, which would have enormous and beneficial effects for the citizens of November Citizen given that it is the Economic Powerhouse of Ocia. He announced that he would introduce new Tax Breaks for companies and generous Grants from those wishing to start new companies. He also went on to state that he was looking into the possibility of making November City a Special Tax Zone, in which companies could operate with lower taxes than elsewhere in the country, in order to boost the slowing market in Ocia and help benefit November City with its knock on effects.
Crowds gather at November City FC stadium to hear and meet Mr. Michael Dervin on his Presidential Campaign
Mr. Dervin stated to the people of November City, that if he was elected he would not just focus on Business and their issues, he would make sure that all citizens of November City enjoyed the lower tax plan he will establish when he is in office, which will exempt all low income families and those with no income for all taxes and reduce the Tax rate by 2.5% bringing the Tax rate down from the current rate of 12.5% to 10% and further reductions will be introduced on a trail basis. Currently all citizens are taxed regardless of their income status on a Bracket System, Mr. Dervin will remove this and establish a new system which is Taxpayer centred not Government centred.
For those who do not know Mr. Dervin, he is not just a Tax Reformist, he has announced other plans for November City, including:
1. A 2 Billion investment in bringing the Public Transport up to modern standards along with more Free Bus Passes being introduced following their creation by Mr. Dervin a few weeks ago.
2. More facilities and areas for Children and Adolescents, to socialise and “hang out” without being a nuisance to others and this will deter them from anti-social behaviour which is on the increase in November City, such facilities will include, Free Internet Cafés, Youth Centres, Skate boarding Parks and Playgrounds and other Youth Facilities.
3. The establishment of a University of November City, to be a Sister University to the University of Directrus and managed by the National Universities of Ocia body, which he will establish.
4. More Police will be introduced onto the streets of November City and there will be a roll out of CCTV all over the city, to prevent, lower and tackle crime. There will also be 5,000 new Police Reserves enlisted over the term of the next presidential term from November City.
5. More Jobs, Less Unemployment… More jobs will be created and higher wage agreements will be discussed with all sectors along with the government’s social partnership.
Mr. Dervin ended his speech by saying that if any citizen had an issue, to contact him straight away and he will sort it out for them, before his closing of “Ocia can do better, November City can become a city which leads the world, You can enjoy the life you have always dreamed about, but without voting for Michael Dervin on June 1st, none of this can happen or ever will! Vote for the Man who will lead Ocia into here Renaissance, Vote Dervin on June 1st, Ocia deserves Better, Vote Dervin!” The cheers from the crowd were louder than a Heavy Metal concert and Mr. Dervin saluted the Crowds before being whisked away by Helicopter to his duties as Prime Minister.
