What is going on with our so called government?
Our barely re-elected ex-Chief Minister doesn’t want the job he was supposed to be doing for the past few years but would quite like to carry on with the job he has actually been doing.
The winds of change have reached parts of our media who now seem to support this previously criticised outgoing CM. At the same time we are seeing new criticism of certain unnamed but reelected stick in the muds who now want to destabilise our government.
If these people are so destructive in our parliament why aren’t their names and antics published so that those who elect them know what’s going on?
Lack of proof or lack of guts?
The previous States put in place a necessary qualification of 4 years experience for our CM. This apparently was a very wise decision at the time but a very foolish one now.
What has changed?
Maybe the quality of the candidates for CM this time around?
Being only a member of the electorate, I am none the wiser.
All I can see is a new States which is already busy looking inward and dividing itself when there are far more pressing problems to be addressed.
Once a CM is elected may I suggest that we leave it at that and don’t create the post of Foreign Secretary (or whatever).
After all of the work done in the previous administration I can’t see that it has gained us much.
Despite all of these good relationships established through visits and Anglo-Irish conferences, the UK government still managed to recently destroy two sources of our income without attacking our competitors.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Which is just as well as several of those attending these previously highly useful council meetings won’t even be warming the benches of this States of Deliberation.
It reminds me of the UK Labour party’s 1997 campaign slogan.
“Things can only get better”.
Or is that just me being hopeful?
