Surely Mr Harwood should concentrate on clearing up the mess he is sitting on, first. All the islands are in a mess at present, not just Guernsey. And all need to be in a much better state before embarking on the sort of co-operation he is thinking of. Which could have advantages, although I suspect there are far more real differences than similarities. The "big Idea" earns more column inches, and may be more fun, but his job is to make Guernsey a better place than it is right now, and that needs management and leadership. Take HSSD as a prime example, or the budget problems, just for starters. He should make sure they are properly resolved before being distracted by pie in the sky. Having said that there could be mileage in common solutions for common problems - providing the problems are truly common. Is that the case? Bus drivers? And who takes the lead? And we should be able to learn from each other. Sounds good on paper, but, having been involved in multi-national businesses for many years, it is never so easy on the ground. However Stage 1 must be to put Guernsey on a much better footing, and the other islands should do the same. Then look at areas of common interest - 2015?
