Election platform:
In all likelihood, the candidates you choose will be called to serve as ministers. They lead departments; responsible for millions and make policies and decisions, which affect our day-to-day lives. Now, they also have to represent the Island in London.
So why Philip Ozouf?
• I introduced the Jersey Competition Law which banned cartels and price fixing.
• I solved the unfair parish rates issue.
• I was the first politician to suggest shared equity, enabling first time buyers to get onto the property ladder
• As the minister responsible for the economy, I have both grown and diversified the econmy, as well as strengthened the finance industry.
• I have earned a reputation as a team player and leader respected by all sides of the States.
The next six years are likely to be tougher. The world’s economy is in turmoil and whilst, due to foresight, we are able to deal with these challenges, Jersey will need to be represented by people with new ideas and experience.
If you want a politician who has proved himself to be effective, has the drive to make things happen, then consider me… I do not let you or Jersey down.
Proposers: Geoffrey Grime, Freddie Cohen, Jenny Pitman, James Dickinson, Jacqui Huet, Lyndon Farnham, Robert Jones, Elena McGowan, Thomas McGowan and Edward Trevor.
Nomination speech:
Proposer Geoffrey Grime reminded the audience that Senator Ozouf was first elected to the States in 1991 as a Deputy in St Helier. He said that the Senator was just 29 years old and at the time the youngest States Member in the house. He was currently the second-youngest politician serving in the Island. In 2002, he was elected a Senator and topped the poll in 11 out of 12 parishes. Mr Grime cited Senator Ozouf’s outstanding record of service and his valuable experience gained from serving on many different committees, including a term as the former president of the former Environment and Public Services Committee. He added that Senator Ozouf had played a major part in government reform following the Clothier report and also in tourism. He described him as youthful, energetic and hard-working, and as a man who was keen to promote the cultural aspects of Jersey.
