Mark Anthony Labey

The manifesto sets out a record of parish administration over the previous term and outlines plans to complete the Parish Speed Review and Green Lane Scheme, begin electrification and solar installation on parish properties, and maintain existing volunteer and community engagement structures. At the States level, it commits to advocacy on hospital commencement, restraint of non-essential government spending until the hospital proceeds, improved public play and sporting facilities in the east of the island, and pressure on the Council of Ministers to reduce management costs and bureaucracy. No figures or timelines accompany most pledges.

Ambition

Weight 15%
“The art of the possible”

The manifesto is largely focused on parish-level continuity, completing existing projects such as the Speed Review and Green Lane Scheme, and beginning electrification and solar installation on parish properties. The States-level commitments are advocacy positions on the hospital, government spending restraint, and east-of-island play facilities, none of which represents a new reform programme. The overall scope is consolidation rather than transformation.

Tangibility

Weight 25%
“Broad commitments”

The Green Lane Scheme and Speed Review are named and described with a stated safety outcome, and the monthly surgery frequency is specified. The remaining pledges, including electrification, solar installation, hospital advocacy, and bureaucracy reduction, are stated without figures, timelines or named mechanisms. Parish-level work is the more concrete portion of the manifesto.

Realism

Weight 20%
“Needs a tailwind”

Parish-level pledges build directly on work already under way, which grounds them in existing process. The States-level positions, such as advocating for hospital commencement and pressing the Council of Ministers to reduce management costs, are framed as advocacy positions rather than commitments requiring new funding or legislative change, keeping them within reach. No fiscal claims are made that would require scrutiny.

Deliverability

Weight 30%
“Needs an Assembly majority and a willing Council of Ministers”

The Scorecard records Labey as a Member of the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel, a Member of the Planning Committee, and a Member of the Comité de Connétable. The Speed Review and Green Lane Scheme, electrification, solar installation, and volunteer support fall within the parish administration area associated with the Comité de Connétable and the Connétable role. The hospital and government spending pledges, the east-island facilities advocacy, and the bureaucracy reduction pressure on the Council of Ministers all depend on other Ministers and an Assembly majority of 25 of 49 members.

Low waffle

Weight 10%
“Reasonably specific”

Several passages carry specific content, particularly the parish achievement list and the named Green Lane Scheme. However, a number of closing lines, including the commitment to value volunteers, maintain an open door, and keep Grouville the best it could be, are general statements of intent without accompanying commitments. The political section relies largely on directional language such as 'continue to be a voice' and 'continue to require'.
