Party Politics in Guernsey?

AN ENTREPRENEUR is setting up a political pressure group.
Frustrated by the States’ performance and the lack of pressure from the electorate to bring change, Anthony Hemans has decided to take action.
‘My idea is born of a desire to galvanize them into better decision making, greater consideration of the electorate in every aspect, and an improved appreciation of costs and competitiveness,’ he said.
He is therefore forming a group called the Guernsey Reform Alliance.
Mr Hemans (pictured) said he heard complaints from many quarters but never saw them translated into action.
Deputies would be asked to sign up to the alliance to commit to its objectives and guidelines, as would future electoral candidates and members of the public who support it.
‘There are already a number of noble deputies who must get quite disheartened when they see the calibre of people they have to work with,’ he said.
‘What I would like to do is form a type of order which people could ally themselves to, with a number of believers in its manifesto.
‘This is without being party political, but they could indicate to the electorate they support the goals of the alliance.’
This was the answer the directionless States had been seeking, he said.
‘This way you can stay away from party politics but have some greater direction and steering and still maintain the merits of Guernsey’s consensus politics.’ (from thisisguernsey)

Will Party Politics works??

The main benifit of a 'party' as opposed to a States type clique is that a party has to put it's manifesto to the electorate. A clique keeps it's aims to itself and persues it's own objectives.

So perhaps it's not a bad idea.

sure cant be any worse than the system we have at the moment

The more poltic party there are the more democracy can live.

You mean that the UK is a good example of what we should follow Our Pollys are not 'brilliant' (look at Carol Steer trying to get £K30 for a Civil Servant on our tax money !!! ) but that is quite tame to what the UK Pollys claim for - and they have 'parties'!!!!!!
