JUST over 150 people attended the first Senatorial hustings meeting in St Clement last night.
The record number of candidates — 21 — forced parish staff to line them up along the sides of the room.
And St Clement Constable Derek Gray managed to squeeze six questions into the two-hour meeting by inviting the candidates to answer them three at a time.
Candidates were asked questions on States spending, the child abuse inquiry, development of the Waterfront, States Members being absent from the Chamber, GST and work permits.
The candidates move on to St Mary tonight, and Grouville tomorrow.
