Hobbies/interests: I am a member of Bethlehem Methodist church and I enjoy singing, gardening and walking along the North coast. Did coasteering around Jersey with my daughter before this activity had a fancy name. I started the St. Mary’s over 40 football team.
Election platform:
I believe that the present crew are incapable of meeting the challenges we face, States decision-making is poor, and we need a new direction in politics where quality of life comes first. My key policies are:
Population and environment
• decide on a population ceiling and stick to it.
• better public transport , Safe Routes to Schools
• scrap incinerator and “reduce, re-use, recycle”
• insulation of all buildings
Quality of life
• quality of life for all residents to replace economic growth as the goal of all States policies
Social Policy and Public expenditure
• build a fair society because it is right
• ensure adequate income for all.
• equal opportunities from pre-school to provision for the elderly
• support the public sector. Move the debate from “cut cut” to something more rational
Democracy and community
• re-establish trust, now sadly broken
• overhaul our election system
• strengthen our communities
• defend local businesses, tourism, agriculture
Economy, fiscal and global
• fair transparent and environmentally targeted taxes
• adapt our economy to the threats we face
• live in a way that restores the planet and promotes the welfare of all
Proposers: Maurice Lakeman, Mike Stentiford, Robert Vincent, Maria Colino, Laura Wakeham, David Warr, Judith Quérée, Robert Tilling, Anna Wimberley and Nicholas Palmer
Nomination speech:
Proposer Maurice Lakeman said that he was nominating Daniel Wimberley for Senator with the confidence that he had the right attitude for such an important role. He said that Mr Wimberley had integrity, always spoke the truth and was a man who offered long-term solutions. He said that he was intelligent and that he took an in-depth approach to find resolutions to problems after first exploring all of the evidence. He said that Mr Wimberley had imagination and would bring prophetic sensibility to the position if elected, as well as the ability to identify the cause of problems, and then eradicate them. He added that Mr Wimberley had done much for the Island, including setting up Jersey Cycle Tours, which had helped thousands of tourists enjoy Jersey, and the creation of Acorn Enterprises, an initiative that helped those with learning difficulties. He was also chairman of Christian Aid.
