Going it alone doesn’t play well with business

THE prospect of Guernsey breaking its ties with the UK has been given short shrift by local business leaders.
Guernsey International Business Association chairman Steve Le Page (pictured) saw little mileage in the prospect, although an 83-page report produced by Jersey’s Constitution Review Group said that the island had nothing to fear from breaking its 800-year link with the UK.
‘The Channel Islands together would make more sense. The islands doing something like that on their own just doesn’t. I think it’s a bit of a red herring.’
However, Chamber of Commerce president Paul Luxon said that even the Channel Islands working together would not be able to make sovereign status a reality. And he felt States members should be considering more important issues at the moment.
