The Democratic Unionist Party 15/05/2014 Party Election Broadcasts for the European Parliament

Next Thursday, we will elect our new councils.

With new powers coming to these councils, it is essential that

you have the very best people representing you.

With 190 council candidates right across every part

of Northern Ireland, the DUP will be your voice in your council.

In this election, every DUP candidate is making five pledges to you.

The DUP is the only party offering firm, decisive

and clear leadership for the people of Northern Ireland.

Families deserve the best services at the lowest possible cost.

One way in which local councils can help is by reducing your rates bill.

The DUP is a low tax party.

I am voting DUP to deliver best services at lowest cost.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy.

DUP councillors have delivered initiatives

to help our small business sector.

Northern Ireland is emerging from the recession.

More businesses are being established

and more jobs are being created.

However, there is much more to do.

In local government, your DUP councillors will ensure that

red tape and bureaucracy do not get in the way of new jobs

and investment.

I'm voting DUP to build economic prosperity.

Those who would seek to remove British symbols cause hurt

and offence by their actions.

The DUP believes in protecting the Union flag

and other symbols of our Britishness.

The DUP stands up for our services personnel and their families.

That is why any DUP Mayor or Deputy Mayor will support

an armed forces charity during their term in office.

I am voting DUP to defend the symbols of the Union.

Policing is a cause for concern among many people.

DUP councillors will lobby for higher visibility policing.

This is an important step in deterring crime

and protecting the most vulnerable.

Recent cases of animal cruelty have shocked people everywhere.

Those who engage in cruelty to animals are shameful.

It is the responsibility of local councils to deal with these issues.

That is why the DUP will work to ensure that

animal welfare officers are better resourced and given more powers.

I am voting DUP for a stronger community.

The DUP will be focused on delivery.

Whether we are in a majority or not in the new councils,

we will work with others for the benefit of all.

I am voting DUP to work with others for the benefit of all.

The DUP is the party for Northern Ireland.

We want to keep Northern Ireland moving forward.

With more young candidates than any other Unionist Party,

we are the party of the future.

We are standing up for what matters most to you.

This election is about which party can deliver in your local council.

If you agree with our vision, why not join with us?

On 22nd May, vote to keep Northern Ireland moving forward.

Vote DUP.
