Very ridiculous that a third of Jersey's ministers don't even hold an island mandate.

Take the Minister for education; 95% of the electorate have never had the chance to vote against him: The Minister for Soc.Sec.; 90.2% of the electorate never had a chance to vote on: The Minister for T&TS who 87.1% of the electorate were not given any say in his appointment.
