Election platform:
As a resident of Jersey for ten years I have grown passionate for the island. I have watched as we have grown in some areas and diminished in others. I have a desire to try and reintroduce tourism on a bigger scale back to the Island, to invest in our future generations and offer equality for all on the Island.

I aim to be a voice for the Islanders, their platform to bring their own ideas into the government view. I do not feel that any of my policies are extravagant, I am trying to keep my feet firmly on the ground. I feel our government needs a fresher approach but don’t believe in a complete change of personnel. The experience offered by existing statesmen and women is invaluable.

Proposers: Mark Tirel, Nancy Holt, Warren Osborne, Aimee Anderton, Catherine Wilson, Janet Allaire, Frank Corrigan, Thomas Forrest, Steven Rault, Carly Baton and Andrew Bloomfield.

Nomination speech:
Mark Tirel introduced Mick Pashley, who he said showed a real passion for Jersey, which had been his home for ten years. He said that in the light of the credit crunch and the bad publicity the Island had been hit with over the historical child abuse investigation, Mr Pashley was very keen to give something back to Jersey. Mr Tirel said young Islanders were thinking about moving away from Jersey because of rising prices and the cost of housing, and that Mr Pashley was determined to do something about both. And the proposer added that Mr Pashley was keen to diversify the Island’s economy with e-commerce and intellectual property. He had specific ideas about watersports, the 2012 Olympics and entering a football team in the UK league to reinvigorate tourism. And he added that Mr Pashley would encourage insulation, wind turbines and solar panels on domestic homes with subsidies.
