Constable John Refault
Regarding voter turnout, I believe that there will be a fall in the number of voters given many electors views that there is nobody likely to be worthy of their vote. Historically, it is the older electors that are seen in the largest numbers and they hold on to long held beliefs and views and are largely critical of the current cohort of States Members. I also believe that following the trend in recent English and American elections that there is the potential for a swing to the left in elected members.

Political parties would not have either a positive nor ST. OUEN Are you standing for re-election in May? Yes/No
I do intend to stand again in May but I don't propose to join in election fever until well into the new year because I want to concentrate on the vital scrutiny work which is occupying a great deal of my time at the moment.

What issues do you believe will be most prominent in the election, and what are your suggested solutions in brief?
I would like to see much more honesty. The back benchers have much more say and are being listened to. After all we live in the real world! It’s a case of thinking of the Parishioners and the islanders wants and needs.
negative effect on the election. However, in the role of Connetable, the parochial electors do see their Connétable as their voice and representative in the States Chamber and if allied to a political party, would be unlikely to succeed if being controlled by a party whip.
What issues do you believe will be most prominent in the election, and what are your suggested solutions in brief?
Immigration, taxation and charges, affordable housing, Health and waste charges, reform of Government and the States workforce.
The government and its elected members need to engage more openly with the people of Jersey to better inform the populace of the rational and effect of proposed legislation and taxes. The currently emerging changes in the accountability and effectiveness of government, with the reform of the workings of senior staff and the Council of Ministers, will make a positive contribution to restoring confidence in the States as a whole.
