Channel Islands need a foreign minister

Frank Walker floats the idea of a Channel Islands foreign minister at yesterday’s Chamber of Commerce lunch. (0890498)

THE concept of a Channel Islands foreign minister was floated at yesterday’s Chamber of Commerce lunch.
Guest speaker former Jersey chief minister Frank Walker said it was one area where he felt the governments of both Guernsey and Jersey were currently lacking and, despite the current economic pressures facing both of them, money needed to be found in both budgets to fund one.
He also felt there was no reason why there had to be one from each island and that one politician could represent both.
‘Every serious government we deal with has one,’ said Mr Walker.
‘We are playing in the big league now. It’s tough and I think we need the equivalent structure there to represent us.
‘If we are to fulfil our full potential we need government structures that allow us to move quickly and decisively. At the minute we haven’t got the structure that allows us to carry that out.’ (from thisisguernsey)

Ok who should we have as the Channel Island foreign minister?

Stuart Syvret or John Gollop..lol

Please don't even go there, with our track record we may very well end up with some numpty that other foreign ministers will just laugh at, great advert for the Island.

what would his/her salary be, representing CI???
