WITH eight out of his ten choices in place and a total of six new faces on the Policy Council, Guernsey’s chief minister will today be pretty pleased with the outcome of yesterday’s ministerial elections.
IT’S been a Bank Holiday weekend that Guernsey can be truly proud of. From music to sport, there has been enough entertainment, excitement and pure magic packed into the last three days to keep us all going for more than a month.
‘This is a new team and a new era,’ Chief Minister Lyndon Trott boldly asserted as he gave early notice of his preferred choices for Policy Council ministers.
HAILED by its organisers as one of the biggest events the island has ever seen, Guernsey Live is set to burst onto the stage this weekend.
WITH the lobbying done, emails sent, phone calls made and the bitter rowing over the hustings in the past, it must have been with some relief that States members could yesterday get down to a decision on who would be chief minister.
LESS than two weeks ago, HM Procureur delivered an analysis of the history and complexities of Guernsey’s constitutional relationship with the UK and the world beyond.
THE 19 new members who take their seats in the States tomorrow must be gasping in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of some of their more experienced colleagues.
