Stuttering start
« on: November 30, 2008, 05:03:10 PM »
So as a 21 year old, still in twighlight of his political career it appears that young Jeremy Macon din't turn up to his own introduction meeting for all new states members. Surely It would appear common sense for deputy-elects to turn up to these meetings so they can interpret what they can and can't do. If candidates such as these are going to be value for money then surely they have to start taking their position less light-heartedly and stop taking it for granted.
Let's just hope that one of the senior, common sense politicians (there are some out there!) addresses this issue sooner rather than later.

Frankly - if he didn't turn up - because he was doing something useful, like work - I would have to regard that as quite a promising sign.

There is nothing about States procedure that a moderately intelligent person couldn't grasp by spending half-an-hour reading the SoJ Law and standing orders.

But - Oh my God - the number of States members who like to pretend they're doing something useful - just by turning up to sit through interminable bloody meetings - you just wouldn't believe.

I would guess three quarters of the outgoing house labour under the delusion that shuffling around from one, brain-rotting PowerPoint presentation to another actually equates to "working".

No it doesn't.

Such cultural habits are merely a means of brainwashing States members - and providing civil servants with the opportunity to make believe they're actually doing something useful.

A pox on bloody meetings - and bloody PowerPoint presentations!

If the new members want to actually do something useful instead - then, great.

Thats all , "well and good", you spouting your opinions from experience Stu.
But new members of, "The Club", should at least have the manners to attend meetings.

There are a lot of stomach bugs going round at the moment; perhaps that was the reason why. You could always try emailing him to ask politely.

I have heard it was because he is still employed and his employers would not let him time off to go to the inductions, give the guy a chance before criticising he isn't even a fully fledged Deputy yet and you lot already are nit picking.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that article on Channel Online... surely resignation is not out of the question, resignation and re-election? any thoughts? I know if I was a member of St Saviour's number one I would want to elect who I was paying 44 K a year, what happened to good old democracy?

And there was me thinking it would go all quiet and boring after the elections.

No way!
