Name: Adrian Walsh
Age: 43
Address: Gloucester Street
Family: Single Father with two wonderful children
Education:To A-level, with further institutional academics relating to my work.
Occupation: Business intelligence analyst
Hobbies/interests: My children, Sudoku, photography/photoshop,
Election platform:
I stand because I am disenchanted with the abilities of our current States Members to look after the ‘normal’ people of this Island. The ones without 2.2 cars, without a house in the country and without property investments and a huge bank balance. The forgotten majority and the real backbone to the Island. I worry about the future for our children, their chances of employment, ability to own a property and chances of a decent quality of life.
Our voice is not heard as was shown when nearly 20,000 petitioned against the introduction of GST, I want to champion the people of Jersey and be an effective voice within the states. In the last elections I saw manifestos from many of the candidates which were nothing more than duplications of the questions that you the general public want answers to. My manifesto will include answers to those questions, they may not be the correct answer, but I believe it is necessary to prove that a candidate is able to bring something to the table, to show that they can think and plan ahead, to show a conviction to making Jersey government accountable and to understand the needs of its electorate.
Proposers: Terry McDonald, Brian Middlemiss, Gurdeep Pangali, Darren Hopkins, Janet Sparkes, Yvonne Perchard, John Perchard, Paul Letherbarrow, Muriel Young and Elaine Ingram.
Nomination speech:
PROPOSER Terry McDonald said that candidate Adrian Walsh offered a good, safe, dependable pair of hands.
He said that Mr Walsh had all the right qualities and added that a lot of what the candidate had wanted over the years had come true. Mr McDonald said that Mr Walsh wanted a Monopolies Commission – and the Island eventually got one. And he said he also wanted free child care to allow more parents to return to work – and that came true too. The proposer said that Mr Walsh, an analyst, had argued against GST, and would continue to do so. And he said that the States needed someone with an analytical mind. He said that Mr Walsh ‘walked the walk’ of computer speak, which allowed him to relate to youngsters, and added that he also walked the walk of honesty, integrity and accountability, which allowed him to relate to older Islanders.
