The perfect speech will never be written. A speech that gets your ideas across and even a win can. All you need to do is be brutally honest and don't make promises you can't keep.
Show that you are using common sense and being practical unlike your competitors. You have to structure your speech much like you would an essay. Keep it to five or six small paragraphs.
In each one come up with a student's concern and your answer to it, show that you don't make promises you can't keep and that unlike your competitors know that the admin gets the final say in all circumstances. Point that out and that some of the big ideas others present will meet with resistance and or financial issues from the administration.
Show them that you aren't using candy, promises of dances, parties, gimmicks or anything else but common sense and smart decisions to earn their trust. Let them know that those who do that and get elected will disappoint and not be a good leader.
You have to show why you stand out for your leadership and your competitors are using cheap tricks and promises they can't keep to compensate for the lack of leadership or other qualities they don't have. Use what they've said and or promised against them and then like an essay tie it all back to who you are and the main reason you should be elected.
I was VP of student council for 3 of the 4 years I was at school and president for the final year. Nobody wanted to run against me because they knew where I stood, what I did in the past and where my loyalty was and my leadership was unshakable.
As far as posters go don't make them flashy, don't put familiar cartoon characters on them or promises. Put your picture on them list about 5 things you stand for in different colors, BOLD and underlined and a slogan that makes them think.
You slogan should be about your being level-headed and a leader. You can't plagiarize this "Common Sense For A Change." by Mike Harris in his Ontario election or "Common Sense Revolution." but you can use this an aide to create your own based on strong decisions and common sense.
The more you look serious and professional and taking it seriously the more you are apt to win when kids can see past the candy etc. that your competitors are shoveling without ever seeing how they can deliver half of it. Good luck!
