Reform Jersey is proud to launch the first edition of our new monthly newsletter - The Jersey Democrat!
We hope to use this newsletter to keep you up to date on the political scene in the Island and provide some progressive-leaning commentary on current affairs, provided by our guest contributors.
With the next general election less than a year away, now more than ever the Island needs a publication which is not only not afraid to be critical of the Ian Gorst-led Council of Ministers, but which will unashamedly stand by its own values and belief that Jersey should and could be an Island of opportunity for all who live here and where the poorest and most vulnerable are protected.
The people of Jersey are currently being let down by a Council of Ministers which shows itself to be more out of touch and incompetent as each day goes by.
Whether it is their failure to get a grip on population control, find an appropriate way to fund the building of the new hospital, or the lack of progress on higher education funding reform, it is clear that the current government is not working.
But worst of all, this government has spearheaded policies which have seen Jersey become a more unequal society, with poverty levels rising to levels which are worse than the UK.
We in Reform Jersey want to see a democratic States of Jersey which governs in the interests of ordinary working Islanders, rather than simply pandering to a small number of very wealthy Islanders.
We are on your side and we pledge to work hard to earn your trust and support. Through the pages of this newsletter, we hope to inform you of how we are standing up for your interests.
There is a huge amount to do in the next year whilst we prepare for our election campaign. We can’t do it all by ourselves and will value any help or support that you can offer, from donations and volunteering, to offering to stand as a candidate in the election.
Together, I am certain we will succeed.
