New Deputy Chief Minister Ian Le Marquand

SENATOR Ian Le Marquand has been appointed Jersey’s Deputy Chief Minister.

The Home Affairs Minister, who pulled out of the Chief Minister race at the last minute, will effectively become second in charge of the Island’s government and will lead it when Chief Minister Ian Gorst is absent.

The Chief Minister has also approved the appointment of 14 assistant ministers to serve in various departments.

The full line up of ministers and their assistants is as follows:

Chief Minister Ian Gorst with Senators Paul Routier and Sir Philip Bailhache as assistants

Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean with Deputy Carolyn Labey and James Baker as assistants

Education Minister Patrick Ryan with Deputies Rod Bryans and Roy Le Hérissier as assistants

Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand with Senator Lyndon Farnham as assistant

I can not see any ministry for the greatly talented Geoff Southern.

Perhaps his blatantly populous rabble rousing has been seen through by his seniors?

In the words of Victor Meldrew, “I don’t believe it.” Ian Le Marquand has no charisma, zero kudos and has not shown any leadership skills in his time in office as Home Affairs Minister. What on earth can Ian Gorst be thinking of?

Can’t see any mention of the biggest spending department in this article?
