Diana Faldingworth : Conservative Party
"I will focus on allowing our village to achieve its full potential. There is huge demand for growth in this village, and we must capitalise on that. I pledge to acquire the land adjacent to our current settlement and
triple our town in size. There will be more jobs, more houses, and more people here proud to call Cityville their home.
And it's time we invested in the environment of this city. As the city grows, it must not grow wild or disorderly. Currently we can revel in the natural beauty surrounding Cityville, and that must be respected. As the city grows we must work to enhance that natural beauty. As the city achieves its potential, we will develop in a way that betters the view outside of your windows, putting parks and leisure at the heart of new communities within Cityville.
At the start of my term this will be a village with dreams of becoming a city, and by the end of my term this will be a city with a village's heart and soul."
(General views: Pro business, pro wealthy people, anti poor people, doesn't care about global environmental issues.)
Barry Chopra : Labour Party
"What we need is a city that works: More jobs for our citizens, more houses for more people. What I want to do is make sure that, as the city grows, we have what we need to keep ourselves going: places in schools, new roads that get us to where we need to go, and new jobs to go to.
I will only acquire new land when we need it, and that isn't the case right now. We already have rights to the East bank of the river, and what we need is a new bridge to allow us to expand the industrial estate onto the East bank. With room to grow, our industry will turn Cityville into an economic powerhouse. Now I'm not going to promise that we'll grow into some kind of garden metropolis in the next five years, because my plans are much more realistic than that. What I will promise is that you will have what you need to get your kids to school, to go to a job, to live your life in Cityville.
... On the issue of Leisure, there will be more to do in terms of leisure in this city as it expands, but we can't have any of that if we don't first build the infrastructure it relies on. That is why, once the East bank is developed, I will introduce cityville's first bus service This will ensure that working people and young people can make the most of Cityville without need for increasingly expensive cars."
General views: Pro working people, Anti rich people, pro public services, ambivalent about environmental issues.
Jennifer Townsend - Green Party
"The city is still young, and we cannot lose this golden opportunity to grow into a more environmentally friendly city. We all know that the world needs to lose its dependence on fossil fuels, and that we need to stop polluting our waters, but all other candidates have suggested putting this off. The later we leave it, the more the city grows in an outdated and environmentally unfriendly way. The more outdated structures we create, the harder it will be for us to make the changes we need to make down the line. It doesn't need to be this way. We can start to change direction towards a greener society. Let's start this now, here.
If elected, In the next five years I will ensure all of Cityville's electricity is generated from renewable sources. I will work towards a water filtration system that will keep our waste out of the river's ecosystems. I will build facilities that allow us to recycle our garbage instead of piling it up into landfill. I will design our new transport links to support walking and cycling. I believe Cityville has what it takes to grow into a city with a future, and not just a city of the past."
General views: Save the planet. Support local business. ...At any cost.
Bill Turnip - Independent
"We got a lovely village here, let's not screw it up. NO NEW HOUSES, NO NEW SHOPS, NO NEW NUFFINK. If you elect me, I'll make sure not an inch of land gets built on. Also maybe get rid of that sluice. It's an eye sore and when the wind blows north it smells o shite!"
