ISLANDERS who have branded the current Assembly the ‘worst States ever’ should try standing themselves, outgoing Commerce and Employment minister Carla McNulty Bauer has said.

TWO more members have confirmed they are quitting the States.

OVER the weeks ahead, we are all going to be receiving a sheaf of manifestos from sitting and wannabe deputies. The question is whether any of them will really be worth the paper they are written on.

A LACK of interest or lack of faith in politics and politicians could be the reason why Guernsey missed its electoral roll target by more than 5,000, Chamber of Commerce president Julian Winser has said.

IT IS hard not to feel dismayed that while riot police arrest Russians demanding genuine democracy it was confirmed that thousands of islanders had decided not even to register to vote.

ALMOST 30,000 islanders have registered on the electoral roll.

THE dismal response to the campaign to get islanders on the new electoral roll is deeply worrying to those who care about Guernsey’s governance.

IF THE States sets up a fresh review of Guernsey’s machinery of government, there’s a strong possibility it will lead to cabinet government.

THE oldest islander to register on the electoral roll has said it is important to vote, as it is the only way to have your say in Guernsey politics.

THE States currently is showing some signs of ripping itself slowly apart.
