Please may I submit my views to the sub-panel examining the impact of the proposed electoral changes?
I want the opportunity to vote for people seeking an island-wide mandate.
They should then automatically have major roles to play in the government of Jersey. More than 8 Senators would be needed – at least 12, possibly more.
I am most unhappy with the prospect of any those major roles being taken by Deputies or Connétable s for whom I cannot vote.
This is just NOT democratic.
Indeed, the only other democratic alternative would appear to be to have political parties which the island is really not ready for.
This needs a public referendum to avoid any suggestion an elected politicians is not voting for the good of the island.
