1. News Report on Elections
‘Conservatives’
Good evening, from BBC London News I am Nazish Hussain. Here with you I will be
talking about one of the parties that are up for election and they are the
Conservatives, fighting for them is David Cameron. This is a political campaign,
which aims to get as many votes in order to run the country. The Conservatives have
been in the elections since 1834 and today they’re the largest political party in the
UK.
There are many techniques this campaign uses to be able to get those votes that are
needed which would then lead them onto running the country; which is the aim of
their whole campaign. One of the main techniques used is speeches. The reason to
why Cameron does a lot of these is because this is the way he feels he can portray
what he has to offer the best, and get those important votes from us.
Another Technique used is posters on billboards. The conservatives have a really
different way of doing this. They tend to show what the previous parties who were
elected have done, and through this they show what a wrong decision the nation has
made, and to make that better they can vote for them. This is a really clever way, as
it definitely sucks everyone in, and we end up voting for them, as they are running
the country.
Their target audience is pretty simple as it is anyone who is 18+ as they are
allegeable to vote for whoever they wish. Whilst doing their promotions, they don’t
base any of it around one particular audience, as they want to get everyone’s
attention by whatever they choose to do. However, teenagers as we know them
today wouldn’t want to listen to speeches, so to target them their main way would be
through posters. Otherwise, everything is aimed at each and every age group.
This campaign is really successful, as I did mention before that they are the leading
and largest political party in the whole of UK, which definitely highlights their
success, as it shows they do get across to the people they’re aiming at, and they get
votes which enables them to run the country.
Now we will go onto watching a video in which Cameron talks a bit about what’s
happening in the UK, and how he is going to change the
government.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw_MI3uCz5Y
