Democracy fails if those elected push own agenda
DO THE States of Guernsey, and in particular ESC, have a mandate? In framing this question I have to wonder the cause and effect of government and, to a degree, policing. Policing is the clearer question, as there are fewer policemen (generic term to include women) and therefore, they have to police by consent of the people. If 2,500 people turned out against the police, the police would have to take notice by pure dint of numbers. The States of Guernsey, however, is a more difficult scenario – 38 Guernsey residents are supported by hundreds of civil servants, and somehow this creates a body that overrules a majority.
