Island-wide elections get chief minister’s vote
Saturday 15th January 2011, 2:29PM GMT.
CHIEF MINISTER Lyndon Trott has backed the minority report on island-wide voting.
The report, prepared by States Assembly and Constitution Committee chairman Ivan Rihoy (pictured), recommends that 10 deputies be elected island-wide with 35 within the district system.
He believes the report on the topic prepared by his own committee will fall in the States, with members unlikely to support its proposal for 45 deputies elected island-wide.
Currently, islanders vote for six or seven deputies within the electoral district in which they live.

There’s only one reason why the Deputy mentioned in this headline would be all for Island-wide voting!

Andy.
now you’ll have the chance to outwit them, make sure none of them ever get into ruling again.
The world is for you ansd all of us. get rid of them and make sure that any new elected are right for the job.
I think a new clause should now be introduced. any elected not doing his job can get booted out.
