So what is the answer to getting fully democracy in Jersey?<br />The only way is to get the public to understand just what is going on in their name. All States members who are not in the establishment party must get together on common ground and vote as one. Can they not see that if they were to do this,then they might well be the next to be ministers who then can govern the Island correctly for the best for the public. I know it was tried with the Alliance Party but members must remember that all their own ideas will not always win the day only the majority will get true democracy. A large campaign together with like thinking people going to the public as one voice is the only chance the Island has of getting rid of the old establishment members club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-70386421531650478952012-02-02T00:48:06.111+00:002012-02-02T00:48:06.111+00:00New post up tomorrow.New post up tomorrow.Trevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-8561914053514603472012-02-01T23:16:08.881+00:002012-02-01T23:16:08.881+00:00and also lets not forget what ILM said about revie...and also lets not forget what ILM said about reviewing the original suspension of GP which was carried out by Andrew Lewis:<br /><br />STATES OF JERSEY<br />SUSPENSION REVIEW MEETING<br />FRIDAY, 13th FEBRUARY 2009<br />Present:<br />Senator B.I. Le Marquand (The Minister for Home Affairs)<br />Mr. G. Power (Chief Officer, States of Jersey Police):<br />Dr. T. Brain (Chief Constable, Gloucestershire):<br />Mr. M. Pinel (Head Of Employee Relations, States of Jersey):<br /><br />Senator B.I. Le Marquand:<br />There is no problem with you making submissions in relation to the effect of the various different parts of the disciplinary code; I anticipated and expected that you would do that. But in the context of how I should now be dealing with the matter what I am not prepared to do, and have not at any point indicated I would do - and indeed made it clear, <br /><br /><br /><b> I believe, in proceedings in the States that I would not do - is to seek to conduct a review of the decision of the Home Affairs Minister when originally suspending. To do that, because the Home Affairs Minister is a corporation sole, effectively I would be reviewing my own decision and that I cannot do.</b><br /><br /><br /> Mr. Power has sought redress in relation to that matter, as you know, through judicial review but I am not going to open an investigation into whether or not the procedure was correct initially. What I want to do today is to start looking at what is the correct procedure that ought now to apply in relation to the matter, not as to whether or not it was correctly applied originally. Does that clarify my position?<br /><br /><br />-----------------------<br />So there it is, ILM said "I would be reviewing my own decision", yet on Tuesday, he said the suspension had nothing to do with him, but surely as the "corporation sole" he should have ensured he did answer such questions, how else can anyone get to the truth!!moral_rightnessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-72405410415204263352012-02-01T22:52:44.920+00:002012-02-01T22:52:44.920+00:00and this:

Not sure exactly what information you are seek...Hi<br /><br />Not sure exactly what information you are seeking about questions. How long does a Minister get to respond to each question? Or how long does the presiding Speaker allow Members who want to ask supplementary questions in total?<br /><br />The truth is this all depends greatly on who is in the Chair. Tomorrow we have 15 questions I believe. Including the 30 seconds or so that it will take the original question to be asked then this would give around eight minutes each - given that we have two full hours for Questions without Notice.<br /><br />You can't have failed to notice, however, thatsome questions get 'hurried along' if they are on issues that the 'Establishment Party' find uncomfortable. The other annoying thing is that different Speakers give different amounts of scope for Ministers to waffle and answer anything but the question they were asked.<br /><br />Sorry I can't be more helpful. Looking through my Standing Orders I actually couldn't find anything prescriptive setting out how much time each question should be allowed. <br /><br />This is an important issue though as there is a drive being led by Senator Bailhache and supported by others who only want to be part-time politicians to 'dumb down' Sittings and chip away at democracy even further by eroding the ability to seek to hold Ministers to account whther this be through questions or 'private Member' propositions.<br /><br />It must be resisted.Trevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-83055317950268792952012-01-30T19:45:48.453+00:002012-01-30T19:45:48.453+00:00What is the time allocation allowed for answering ...What is the time allocation allowed for answering questions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
