With Deputy Le Heriser explaining his Amendments to voters of that Parish,along with others who chose to be there showing interest as to what the electoral reforms and amendments entailed. Indepentant Commission to decide on being the important subject. <br /> It does'nt bear well for Democracy in this Island.As other politicians who attended, In fairness, admitted along with the amendments at this meeting Felt it was not their right as politicians to automatically sit in on an Indepentant Commision electorial reform. Or the possibility of Senator P. Bailache a politician himself, or any other politician for that matter should take upon themselves to Chair these meetings.<br /> These well intended Reforms put forward by D.Wimberly, Could yet be at risk to Democracy, by being watered down and total waste of taxpapers money. Others may wish to put their own point of view as next Meeting held at the Town Hall Wednesday 29th Feb at 7.30pm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-43015440139954534542012-02-21T21:37:06.615+00:002012-02-21T21:37:06.615+00:00At the St Clement meeting this evening (Tue 21st),...At the St Clement meeting this evening (Tue 21st), the Assembly voted 16 in favour of the Resolution, none against and 11 abstentions.<br /><br />The meeting lasted for an hour.<br /><br />The Constable of St Clement will be communicating the support of the Assembly for the Resolution in favour of Deputy Le Herissier's amendments to P5/2012 to himself as Constable, the two Deputies and the ten Senators.<br /><br />Its nice to win sometimes.

In other words none of the four PPC members that formed the majority were prepared to stand on a platform and defend their revised scheme.The JRA expected this to happen and of course it speaks volumes as to the way certain politicians view the public and civil society pressure groups. When the spotlight is on you its not commemdable to be seen running off into a dark corner.<br /><br />It boils down to a refusal to engage publically with critics. It happens all the time; dissent and criticism are simply ignored by those that exercise power. States Members hate being held accountable. They can deal with their peers in the States Assembly, which is an select gentleman's club, but show only disdain for those organised externally opposing their policies.Nick Le Cornuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983215673635966459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-50905039394665302072012-02-21T09:25:25.778+00:002012-02-21T09:25:25.778+00:00The St Helier Parish Assembly is on Wednesday 29th...The St Helier Parish Assembly is on Wednesday 29th February at 7.30pm.

In your main posting you wrote.<br /><br />"The Jersey Rights Association had also planned to hold a meeting in the form of a public debate however this has been cancelled as they were unable to secure speakers in favour of the PPC proposition."<br /><br />Firstly who were invited, how were they invited. Were the invitations just ignored, or what were the reasons given for those supporting PPC not to take part?<br /><br />Secondly, the JRA has cancelled the debate.........why? Just because those who support the PPC proposition don't have the courage of their convictions, does that mean it can't be debated?voiceforchildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825129148579102037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556145924493162530.post-38038409531668117802012-02-20T14:28:51.865+00:002012-02-20T14:28:51.865+00:00How ironic that this blog posting should follow on...How ironic that this blog posting should follow on that dealing with 1781, the Battle of Jersey and the death of Major Peirson!!!<br />What on earth did he die for - is this really how independence works?<br />Seems that the old English colonial style serfdom with the Crown Officers stopping reform and usurping democracy still runs in Jersey.<br />Hope that the parishioners of St Clement and St Helier will support Deputy Le Herissier and reject the Bailhache plot.<br /><br />No doubt you will be correcting the date for the St Helier special Parish meeting in due course? St Clement is tomorrow, Tuesday 21 February at 7pm.<br /><br />Anybody is invited to attend but only voters of St Clement can vote on the Le Herissier matter.<br />Se you ALL there!!!Tom Gruchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384387998228996741noreply@blogger.com
