A straw poll launched by the Bailiwick Express has found that 62% of respondents want P&R to resign after last week’s contentious debate on generating revenue.
The future of the island’s most senior Committee remains uncertain, after its President suggested that the island should hold an early general election.
The States debated Policy and Resources’ Funding and Investment Plan last week, but voted against the Committee’s preferred option of revenue raising which would’ve included a new goods and services tax combined with social security reform and additional borrowing.
This is the second time P&R has failed to get through its preferred plan and Deputy Ferbrache announced immediately after the debate that his Committee would be seeking an early general election, as this current tranche of deputies don’t agree on “any key issue”.
Almost simultaneously, Deputy Charles Parkinson launched a motion of no confidence in P&R, arguing that instead of the deputies essentially firing themselves, the senior Committee members should just step down.
