Assistant Minister for External Relations · Chair/Lead Island Identity Project · Member of Bailiff's Consultative Panel · Minister for International Development

Carolyn Fiona Labey

Carolyn Labey was first elected to the States Assembly in 2002 as Deputy of Grouville, a seat she has held continuously since, representing the enlarged constituency of Grouville and St Martin from 2022. Over more than two decades she has held a wide range of offices, including Assistant Minister for Education Sport and Culture from 2005 to 2008, Assistant Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture from 2011 to 2014, and Chair of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission across several terms between 2015 and 2026. She served as Assistant Chief Minister from 2018 to 2022 and as Minister for International Development from 2018 to 2026. She currently holds the offices of Minister for International Development, Assistant Minister for External Relations, and Chair/Lead of the Island Identity Project.

For her current term Labey campaigned on providing experienced, independent representation focused on long-term direction for Jersey. Her specific commitments include developing Jersey's international profile as a centre for philanthropy and impact investing, building on the Island Identity project to establish a shared vision for the Island, restoring Gorey Harbour as a working port, creating an Independent Skills and Careers Agency to expand apprenticeships and vocational training, and easing cost-of-living pressures through energy price oversight, support for local food production, and more affordable childcare. She also pledged to deepen Jersey's connections with France and to invest in preventative healthcare.

Turnout in the States Assembly — 2026–2030 Assembly

The States Assembly records a reason against every non-vote, so being ill, off-island, on parental leave or barred by a declared interest can be told apart from simply not turning up. Absences with an accepted reason are removed from both sides of the rate rather than held against the member.

5 votes in 2026–2030 Assembly so far — fewer than the 10 needed before this scorecard will publish a participation rate. The record to date:

Manifesto

Promises, and how they voted — 2026–2030 Assembly

Grouped by policy area. Each promise carries the recorded States Assembly votes that test it, and whether this member voted to deliver — open any vote for the motion and the reasoning. A vote counts against a promise only where it plainly contradicts it; where a member voted against one particular measure but the breach is arguable, the vote is shown and set aside rather than counted. Where no recorded vote bears on a promise, an AI delivery verdict assesses progress against the public record.

Housing & Planning

No recorded States Assembly vote bears on this area yet.

  • No recorded votespecific

    Candidate will support modern construction methods, planning reform, and reintrodduction of deposit loans for first-time buyers.

    “Home ownership making use of modern construction methods, improve the longwinded and often unpredictable planning system. Reintroduce deposit loans for first-time buyers, so Islanders are not locked out of their own Island.”

    HousingPlanning And Development
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 8 June 2026 and the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving only a three-month window. She was appointed International Development Minister, not to a housing or planning role, and no evidence was found of any proposition, written question, or other action by her in the new Assembly on modern construction methods, planning reform, or deposit loans for first-time buyers. The Government's existing First Step equity-loan scheme — which is the closest mechanism to her pledge — was paused before the election due to exhausted funding, and any restart discussions are being led by the new Housing Minister, Deputy Malcolm Ferey, not Labey. The short time elapsed means this should not be read as a failure, but there is no traceable progress attributable to Labey as of September 2026.

Health & Social Care

    Candidate will invest in preventative healthcare to support active and independent lives for Islanders.

    “Investing in preventative healthcare to support Islanders living active, independent, fulfilled lives.”

    Health And Care
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and, as of 30 June 2026, was appointed to her third consecutive term as Minister for International Development — a role focused on overseas aid rather than domestic preventative healthcare. No evidence was found of any specific action, proposition, ministerial statement, or cross-portfolio initiative by Deputy Labey relating to preventative healthcare investment since the 2026–2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026. The Assembly has been sitting for only approximately three months as of the assessment date; this verdict reflects the absence of recorded progress rather than a judgement of failure within that short window.

    • 08 Sept 2026·P.63/2026 — Reinstate the States Grant to the Social Security Fund (P.63-2026) — Contre6-41

      Reinstating the Social Security Fund grant supports the financial underpinning of social and health support, which partially connects to investing in preventative healthcare and supporting active and independent lives.

      Shown as context only: the link to this promise is too weak to grade.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly sat from 19 June 2026; she was appointed Minister for International Development on 30 June 2026 (ITV Channel/JEP/Bailiwick Express), a role unrelated to skills, education or economic development. No proposition, ministerial statement, or announcement concerning the establishment of an Independent Skills and Careers Agency has been found in any Jersey source in the three months since the term began. Jersey's skills and apprenticeships brief sits with the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning and the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development, and no cross-ministerial initiative matching this promise has been identified.

    Candidate will promote Jersey's international profile and work to position it as a centre for philanthropy and impact investing.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and was appointed Minister for International Development unopposed on 29 June 2026, the role from which this promise flows. The Island Identity project she founded — which explicitly names philanthropy, conservation and impact investing as key planks of Jersey's international narrative — remained active through at least May 2026 and continues under her ministerial remit. However, as of 19 September 2026 (fewer than three months into the new Assembly term), no independently reported new initiative specifically positioning Jersey as a philanthropy or impact investing centre has been announced; the work is best characterised as a continuation and intended development of pre-existing programmes rather than a newly delivered commitment.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will support reforms to make doing business easier and reform the planning process.

    “Supporting business and economic growth – means establishing quicker, easier ways to do business in Jersey, and reforming the Planning processes.”

    Economy And BusinessPlanning And Development
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Carolyn Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and, by late June 2026, was appointed Minister for International Development and as an Assistant External Relations Minister — roles focused on overseas aid and international diplomacy, with no public-facing brief over domestic economic regulation or planning reform. No evidence was found of any proposition lodged, ministerial statement made, or scrutiny work undertaken by Labey personally on quicker business processes or planning reform in the 2026-2030 Assembly term. Planning and business regulation in the new government sits with a dedicated Minister for Planning and Regulation (Senator Mark Boleat) and the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development (Deputy Gerald Voisin), neither of whom is Labey. The Assembly only first sat on 19 June 2026, so the short window (under three months as of the assessment date) means absence of progress is not evidence of failure, but there is no discernible foothold for this particular promise in her current ministerial portfolio.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will back hospitality, creative industries, fisheries, and agriculture sectors.

    Deputy Carolyn Labey was re-elected to the 2026-2030 Assembly on 7 June 2026 and was appointed Minister for International Development on 29 June 2026 — a role she has held since 2018 focused on overseas aid, not on domestic economic sectors. No evidence was found of specific actions taken by Labey in the new term to back hospitality, creative industries, fisheries or agriculture; responsibility for the agricultural and marine sectors was assigned to the Minister for the Environment under the new ministerial structure. The Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, meaning only approximately three months have elapsed, and no propositions, ministerial statements, or scrutiny work by Labey on these sectors have been publicly reported.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will work to maintain Jersey's competitive tax environment.

    “Maintaining Jersey's competitive tax environment is essential to all industries.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Carolyn Labey was re-elected to the 2026-2030 Assembly in June 2026 and was appointed Minister for International Development on 30 June 2026 — a portfolio focused on overseas aid and external relations rather than tax or economic competitiveness policy. No evidence was found of any specific action, proposition, ministerial statement, or Assembly contribution by Deputy Labey directed at maintaining Jersey's competitive tax environment since the Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026. Tax competitiveness matters in the new term are being led by the Minister for Treasury and Resources (Senator Alan Maclean) and the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development (Deputy Gerald Voisin), not Deputy Labey. Given the Assembly has only been sitting for approximately three months, the absence of traceable action is noted without adverse inference, but no progress on this specific promise can be evidenced.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will work to deepen Jersey's connections with France to support tourism, education, and economic cooperation.

    “Deepening historic connections with France, our closest neighbour, which will support tourism, education and economic cooperation.”

    Deputy Labey was elected to the 2026-2030 Assembly in June 2026 and was confirmed as Minister for International Development and Assistant Minister for External Relations by late June 2026 (ITV Channel, 29 June 2026; gov.je). However, as of September 2026 — just three months into the new term — no publicly reported initiative specifically targeting deeper Jersey-France ties in tourism, education, or economic cooperation has been attributable to her in this term. The most recent formal Jersey-France cooperative activity found was the September 2025 Normandy Summit and MoU renewal, which predated this Assembly and was led by the Chief Minister and External Relations Minister, not by Labey. Her ministerial roles place her structurally to pursue this commitment, but no concrete France-focused action has yet been evidenced.

    Candidate will work to ease cost of living through energy price oversight, tax breaks for local food production, better freight links, and more affordable childcare.

    Candidate will work to restore Gorey Harbour as a functioning working port.

    “Restoring Gorey Harbour to a vibrant working Port.”

    Infrastructure And TransportEconomy And Business
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Carolyn Labey was re-elected for the 2026–2030 term on 7 June 2026, topping the Grouville and St Martin poll, and was subsequently appointed Minister for International Development — a role unconnected to harbour infrastructure. No evidence was found of any action taken by Labey herself since the new Assembly sat on 19 June 2026 in pursuit of the Gorey Harbour promise. Activity at Gorey Pier in 2026 — planning approval for landing-stage removal (May 2026) and the appointment of a demolition contractor — was driven by Ports of Jersey and predates the new Assembly; it also focuses on structural stabilisation and heritage preservation rather than restoring a 'vibrant working port'. The Assembly has been sitting for only about three months, so this is a very short window, but there is no traceable link between Labey and any specific action on this commitment.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will support a Jersey-specific climate roadmap including extended cycle routes, better public transport, and rooftop solar panels.

    “Adopting a realistic climate roadmap – right for Jersey – with practical measures – extending cycle routes, improved public transport and solar panels (on roofs – not fields).”

    Environment And ClimateInfrastructure And Transport
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and sworn into the new Assembly on 19 June 2026, but was appointed Minister for International Development — a role she has held since 2018 — rather than any environment, infrastructure or transport brief, leaving her with no ministerial lever over cycle routes, public transport or solar panels. No evidence was found of her lodging propositions, making written questions, or publicly advocating on these specific manifesto commitments in the roughly three months since the Assembly sat. The broader Jersey climate picture shows the second CNR delivery plan is not due until 2027, Jersey's independent Climate Council judged in March 2026 that 2030 targets are 'unachievable' on current trajectory, and rooftop-solar and transport work in train pre-dates her 2026 pledge and was driven by other members (e.g. Deputy Tadier's ground-mounted solar ban proposal). Given the extremely short window since 19 June 2026, absence of progress is not evidence of abandonment, but no identifiable action by Labey on this promise has been recorded.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progresshigh confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected for Grouville and St Martin on 12 June 2026 and has only been in the new 2026-2030 term for approximately three months. Her own website, updated post-election, confirms she is continuing to run the Parish Surgeries, Community Support Groups, the Grouville Gazette and Les Grouvelles. The Parish of Grouville's official news page recorded a Parish Surgery for Grouville and St Martin on 7 September 2026, and the Grouville Gazette website confirms the publication continues to operate on its quarterly schedule, with a Spring 2026 edition issued. Les Grouvelles was reported to be planning a range of activities and events for 2026 in the Winter 2025 Gazette. Given the very short window since the Assembly first sat (19 June 2026), continuation of these initiatives is actively evidenced, and the status reflects ongoing delivery rather than any failure.

    Candidate will work to establish a long-term vision for Jersey built on the Island Identity project.

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and re-appointed as Minister for International Development on 29–30 June 2026, entering her third consecutive term in that role; the new 2026-2030 Assembly first sat only on 19 June 2026, giving the government barely three months to act. No new overarching long-term vision document building on Island Identity has yet been publicly lodged or announced, but the Council of Ministers is legally required to produce a Common Strategic Policy within four months of appointment (a deadline falling around late October 2026), and Labey's prior stewardship of Island Identity — including the Jersey Connections initiative launched in December 2024 as a direct product of the Island Identity report — demonstrates an established platform from which to pursue the promise.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will push for clearer government accountability and improved oversight of utilities and public bodies.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Labey was re-elected on 7 June 2026 and by 29 June 2026 was appointed Minister for International Development for a third consecutive term — an executive portfolio with no direct remit over government accountability structures or utility/public body oversight. No proposition, ministerial statement, or formal review specifically advancing clearer accountability lines or improved oversight of utilities and public bodies was identified in the three months since the Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026. A related transparency measure — extending the Freedom of Information Law to arms-length organisations, stemming from a 2014 Labey proposition — is being progressed by a different minister (Deputy Ferey), not by Labey herself.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The AHP (Affordable Housing Programme/shared equity) scheme amendment directly bears on the promise to support government-funded shared equity schemes to help young people buy homes.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. Although the member promised to support government-funded shared equity schemes, voting against this specific amendment could reflect disagreement with the particular mechanism, funding level, or other bundled elements of Amendment 11 rather than a rejection of shared equity schemes in principle.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      This motion to invest stamp duty uplift revenue into first-time buyer funds directly advances the promise to support government-funded schemes to help young people buy homes.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports government-funded shared equity schemes generally, while this motion concerned a specific funding mechanism (directing second-home stamp duty revenue into first-time buyer funds), and a member could oppose this particular revenue-allocation approach while still genuinely supporting shared equity schemes through other means.

      Voting Contre delivers this

      The amendment to remove the stamp duty surcharge on second homes, if adopted, would reduce a funding source that could support first-time buyer schemes; voting contre preserves the surcharge that funds housing support for first-time buyers.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The promise concerned government-funded shared equity schemes to help young people onto the property ladder, whereas this motion concerned removing a stamp duty surcharge on second homes — a different policy instrument with no direct connection to shared equity schemes.

The promise is a general commitment to resourcing health services for front-line staff, while this motion concerns a specific funding mechanism for multi-morbidity GP consultations, meaning voting against it could reflect disagreement with that particular measure rather than opposition to the underlying goal of properly resourcing health services.

      Voting Contre delivers this

      A freeze on Public Health staff appointments works against attracting and retaining front-line medical staff; voting contre this freeze advances the promise.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While voting to freeze public health staff appointments could be seen as working against properly resourcing health services to attract and retain front-line medical staff, the connection requires an inference about whether this particular freeze applied to front-line medical staff or administrative/other roles, and whether the member may have supported it for broader fiscal or strategic reasons unrelated to the substance of the promise.

      The New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (b) directly concerns resourcing new health facilities, which is central to attracting and retaining front-line medical staff.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to resourcing health services for staff attraction and retention, while the motion concerns a specific healthcare facilities programme, and voting against one particular capital or programme measure does not plainly contradict a broad resourcing commitment without further inference about what that programme contained and why the member opposed it.

      The New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a) directly concerns major health infrastructure investment, bearing on the promise to properly resource health services.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns resourcing health services to attract and retain front-line medical staff, while the motion concerns a specific healthcare facilities programme paragraph, and voting against one particular capital or programme measure does not straightforwardly contradict a general commitment to proper resourcing, as the member could have had other reasons (e.g. preferring a different approach or scope) for opposing this specific provision.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board and Partnership Board amendment bears on governance structures for properly resourcing health services.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to resourcing health services to attract and retain staff, while the motion concerns the specific governance structure of advisory and partnership boards for Health and Care Jersey, making it unclear how voting against a board amendment arrangement directly contradicts the staffing and resourcing promise without a chain of reasoning about how board composition affects front-line medical recruitment.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Funding free GP visits for all full-time students contributes to ensuring health services are properly resourced and accessible, partially advancing the promise on health service resourcing.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned resourcing health services to attract and retain front-line medical staff, while this motion specifically concerned funding free GP visits for students — a related but distinct policy measure that the member could reasonably oppose without contradicting the commitment to staff resourcing and conditions.

      Redirecting funds into palliative and respite care is directly relevant to the promise to push for wellbeing and mental health policies embedded in a comprehensive health strategy, as respite care is a core component of such a strategy.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns embedding wellbeing and mental health into a cradle-to-grave health strategy, while the motion was a specific budget reallocation decision (£2.6m from assisted dying to palliative care); voting against this reallocation does not straightforwardly contradict the general strategic commitment, as a member could oppose this particular funding mechanism while still pursuing the broader promise by other means.

The promise is a broad directional commitment to embed wellbeing and mental health in a cradle-to-grave health strategy, whereas this motion concerns a specific budget reallocation of £2.6 million from assisted dying to palliative care — a distinct funding mechanism decision that requires inferential reasoning to connect to the general promise.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise specifically concerns apprenticeships involving the business sector, while the motion concerns fully funded education or training for 16-18 year olds broadly, making it a related but distinct measure where voting against does not plainly contradict the specific apprenticeship commitment.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      This motion directly adjusts apprenticeship grants for inflation, which materially advances the promise to push for apprenticeships involving the business sector to develop a skilled local workforce.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports apprenticeships generally, but voting against an inflation adjustment to apprenticeship grants is a specific funding mechanism decision that a member could oppose for fiscal or design reasons while still supporting apprenticeships in principle.

      The amendment on Suspension of High Value Residents directly bears on whether the HVR programme continues or is curtailed to make wealthy newcomers pay more.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to push for wealthier newcomers to pay more tax, while the motion concerned a specific mechanism (suspension of the High Value Residents scheme), which a member could reasonably oppose while still pursuing the broader goal of fairer taxation through other means.

      The motion on capping the number of High Net Worth Individuals granted entitled status bears on controlling the tax contribution framework for wealthy newcomers.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise was to push for wealthier newcomers to pay a greater tax contribution, while the motion concerned capping the number of high-net-worth individuals granted entitled status — a residency/immigration measure rather than a tax measure — so voting against the cap is not clearly the same as opposing fairer taxation of wealthy newcomers.

      The motion on Taxation of High Value Residents paragraph 'a' directly tests the promise to push for wealthier newcomers to pay a greater tax contribution.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      This motion to raise the standard income tax rate to 25% (while preserving the current rate for High Value Residents) partially bears on pushing wealthiest newcomers to pay greater tax contributions, though it targets all standard-rate taxpayers rather than specifically HVRs.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While the promise calls for wealthier newcomers (specifically High Value Residents) to pay more tax, this motion concerned the broader personal income tax structure for the general population (switching from 20% to 25% with marginal relief), and a member could reasonably oppose this particular mechanism while still pursuing the narrower goal of increasing HVR tax contributions specifically.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The motion on removal of earnings cap in the Government Plan bears on the social security/pension contribution framework relevant to the promise on pensions.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "raise tax thresholds" is a general directional commitment, and the removal of an earnings cap is a specific, different mechanism in the tax system; voting against this particular amendment does not plainly contradict the promise, as a member could oppose this route while still pursuing the stated goal by other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The motion on GST on Sanitary Products removes GST from a specific category of goods, partially advancing the promise's broader commitment to removing GST.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise specifically mentioned removing GST from locally grown food, not sanitary products, so this motion concerns a different GST exemption from the one promised, even though both involve GST removal.

      The motion on Removing the Upper Earnings Cap bears on pension-related social security contributions, touching on the triple-lock pension aspect of the promise.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The promise concerned raising tax thresholds, triple-locking pensions, and removing GST from locally grown food, while the motion dealt with removing upper earnings caps on social security contributions — a distinct mechanism not mentioned in or directly implied by the promise.

      This motion to introduce a new personal tax allowance directly advances the promise to support raising tax thresholds.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While the promise supports raising tax thresholds, this specific motion concerned one particular mechanism (a new personal tax allowance proposed by Deputy Coles), and voting against it could reflect a preference for a different approach to raising thresholds rather than opposition to the principle itself.

    Will work to establish a fast-track talent development programme for civil service leaders.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    Labey's 2022 manifesto explicitly promised to establish a fast-track talent development programme for civil service leaders (confirmed via vote.je). Throughout the 2022–2026 Assembly term she served as Minister for International Development — a portfolio with no remit over civil service workforce matters — and no evidence emerged that she advanced this specific commitment through ministerial action, propositions, or public advocacy. While the Government of Jersey's 2024 Common Strategic Policy (P.21/2024) included a broad aspiration to develop local civil service talent and reduce consultant reliance, no dedicated fast-track leadership programme was announced or launched, and no independent Jersey source (gov.je, statesassembly.je, JEP, Bailiwick Express) linked Labey to any progress on this commitment.

      The amendment to the Re-instatement of Senators proposition directly tests the commitment to reinstate Senatorial seats.

      The second amendment paragraph (a) to the Re-instatement of Senators proposition directly bears on reinstating Senatorial seats.

    • 17 Jan 2023·P.108/2022(Amd)(2) — Re-instatement of Senators (P.108/2022): second amendment - para (b) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach3-40

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The second amendment paragraph (b) to the Re-instatement of Senators proposition directly bears on reinstating Senatorial seats.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The member promised to reinstate Senatorial seats, but this was a specific amendment (paragraph (b) of a second amendment to the main proposition) whose precise content is not given, meaning the member could have voted against this particular amendment while still supporting the overall goal of reinstatement through the main proposition or a different amendment.

    • 17 Jan 2023✓P.108/2022(Amd)(2) — Re-instatement of Senators (P.108/2022): second amendment - para (c) — Pour, voted to deliver12-33

    • 11 Dec 2024·P.65/2024 — Public Elections - Extension of Eligibility Criteria — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach14-31

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Extension of Eligibility Criteria for public elections bears on the promise to restore voting rights that have been eroded.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise was specifically about reinstating Senatorial seats and restoring previously eroded voting rights, whereas this motion concerns extending eligibility criteria to new voters — a related but distinct subject — meaning the member could plausibly oppose this particular extension while still genuinely pursuing the original promise.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The Amendment to the Re-instatement of Senators (P.2-2025 Amd.) Amendment directly tests the commitment to reinstate Senatorial seats.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The member promised to reinstate Senatorial seats, but the motion in question is an amendment to an amendment on that reinstatement proposal, and voting against a specific amendment does not necessarily contradict support for the underlying reinstatement — the member may have opposed the particular amendment's terms while still supporting the main proposition.

    • 01 Apr 2025·P.17/2025 Amd. — Draft Elections (Appopinted Day) (Jersey) Act 202- (P.17-2025) - Amendment — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach6-39

      Voting Pour delivers this

      The Amendment to the Draft Elections (Appointed Day) Act bears on the timing of implementing the Elections (Senators) reform, directly related to reinstating Senatorial seats.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The motion is an amendment to an Appointed Day Act, which is procedural in nature (concerning timing of implementation), so voting against it does not straightforwardly contradict the promise to reinstate Senatorial seats, as a member could oppose the timing or mechanism while still supporting the underlying goal.

    • 01 Apr 2025✓P.17/2025 — Draft Elections (Appointed Day) (Jersey) Act 202- (P.17-2025) — Pour, voted to deliver42-1

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Extension of Eligibility Criteria for Election Candidates bears on restoring voting and candidacy rights that have been eroded.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The promise concerned reinstating Senatorial seats and restoring eroded voting rights, while this motion addressed the eligibility criteria for election candidates—a different subject that does not bear directly on the promise made.
