@bailiwickxpress 'silently shelved' might work better.

@chrismedmond Constables are the real anomaly.

[Nick Le Cornu @NickLeCornu]

@chrismedmond Constitutional reform moves like a crab - sideways. It is Constables, the bedrock of status quo Bourgeois politics, that must go and be replaced by 1 category of States Member all elected in equal size constituencies. .

Haut du Mont gas explosion. I canvassed the block during the elections and met many supportive people. In particular an interpreter for the Employment Tribunal.

Tories live light years away from normal people, hoist austerity on others.

Jersey government should have policy of public ownership of agricultural land to be tenanted out. Encouraging youth to take this career faces existing property ownership by wealthy (elderly) few.

@MalcolmFerey @GaelMezec Poverty will not disappear because bureaucrats catch a fraudster. Its more 'pour encourager les autres."

@BBCJersey in 2018 only 2 Constables made election expenses returns. Others did not and were pardoned by AG.

Constables lack legitimacy and should not sit in the States Assembly.

@emmavolney @ITVChannelTV Has the mould disappeared through gratitude? This perennial problem will be acceptable to landlords until security of tenure legislation protects tenants.

@JennBridge @SamMezecJsy Hospitality is shouting about its lack of staff yet prefers to bring in Africans etc a and pay minimum wage. They learn nothing

@Ian_Gorst @lyndonfarnham GERRYMANDER removing Constable's ex officio role would be a true democratic advance. Inequality of representation for urban areas remains

@FreddieCMMiller In St Helier South every elector received my Poll Card indicating the Town Hall as polling Station. I perform a public service at personal expense, effort and limited gratitude (save TH ballot staff appreciated convenience & thanked me). I did what @StHelierJsy & @Voteje did not

@JulietteG27 As the crisis deepens so will the division. Objective factors will prevent change until it all breaks.

[Nick Le Cornu @NickLeCornu]

@Getonthelash2 Opportunists or/and nouveau rich? 'The Party of Government' may have collapsed, but the Party of Finance is eternal.

[Nick Le Cornu @NickLeCornu]

@lyndsayfeltham @JEPnews Whilst the Media hails diversity, the real takeaway is the strong reflection of class and party. An organised right of the nouveau riche versus a left of the lower middle. The biggest party of the working class remains the Party of Abstention.

Change? Advising hotel worker given a crappy 'Zero Hours' contract. Employers still issue and expect acceptance. No surprise hospitality struggles. Time to fight back. @jerseychamber @jsyhospitality

@DarkJersey @JennBridge @StatesAssembly Hopefully not backwards to old gerrymanders. The Ancien Regime awaits reforms.

[Nick Le Cornu @NickLeCornu]

@MozScott A decision was made by the Assembly not to follow the Clothier recommendations. A struggle to be continued against vested interests and anti democratic sentiments.

[Nick Le Cornu @NickLeCornu]

@MozScott Utterly confusing. Go back to Clothier. One category of States Member all elected on the same day in constituencies of equal size. Democratic.
