Manifesto

A Steady Hand. A Clear Vision. A Stronger Island.

As we stand at a crossroads in our islands’ journey, we need leadership grounded in experience, guided by principle, and inspired by possibility.

I’m standing for re-election in 2025 because I believe Guernsey and Alderney deserve leadership that listens, acts decisively, and builds for tomorrow.

A Proven Leader for Uncertain Times

My record speaks for itself. As a former Chief Minister and current lead for External Relations & Constitutional Affairs, I’ve led through challenging global headwinds and delivered calm, capable governance. I bring not only experience but a consistent vision for a Guernsey that is inclusive, resilient, and prosperous.

I am a husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather. All of our children, their husbands and our grandchildren live in Guernsey and love living and working in our beautiful island. I therefore feel very invested in Guernsey and our Bailiwick. I want our future as a community to thrive continue to enjoy the things which make us a unique, prosperous and safe place for all generations.

My Pledge to You:

Leadership Rooted in Integrity. Vision Grounded in Reality.

Guernsey is at a pivotal point. The challenges we face—economic uncertainty, housing pressure, health system reform, and global instability—require more than just good ideas. They demand principled, experienced leadership that helps bring good ideas together in order to deliver results.

I am seeking your support in 2025 to continue building an island community that works for everyone—sustainably, securely, and with purpose.

A Legacy of Leadership. A Future of Opportunity

As a former Chief Minister and current member of the Policy & Resources Committee, I have consistently advocated for open, responsible government. My leadership and example through financial crises, Brexit negotiations, recent international turmoil and even our local political storms of this last term has demonstrated calm resolve, purposeful determination and a firm focus on protecting Guernsey’s interests.

My Vision for Guernsey

1. A Thriving, Future-Focused Economy

• Strengthen Guernsey’s position as a global financial centre while supporting innovation in fintech, digital infrastructure, and sustainable industries.

• Champion policies that foster entrepreneurship and attract talent without losing our island character.

2. Affordable Homes and Strong Communities

• Drive smarter, sustainable development that delivers housing our people can afford, close to the communities they love.

• Protect and re-empower parish life, ensuring that local identity and values are preserved and celebrated.

3. A Healthier Island

• Prioritise investment in our health service and infrastructure to reduce waiting times and improve mental health support.

• Promote preventative care and community-based solutions to build a healthier Guernsey for all ages.

4. Smarter Government and Real Reform

• Streamline public services to ensure efficiency without sacrificing care or accountability.

• Champion digital transformation that puts citizens first, cuts red tape, and modernises the States’ approach.

5. Sustainability with Action, Not Slogans

• Deliver real environmental progress: cleaner energy, better waste management, and biodiversity protection.

• Support local agriculture and protect our unique landscape for future generations.

6. A Voice That Carries Weight

• Strengthen Guernsey’s voice on the international stage and defend our constitutional and economic autonomy with clarity and conviction.

Steady in Leadership. Firm in Principles. Ready for the Future.

Guernsey needs leaders who can cut through the noise and deliver results with integrity. I offer a track record you can trust—and a heart committed to the people of this island.

Let’s shape a future we can all be proud of.

There are dozens of issues facing our great island community which I could write at length on - housing, transport links, taxation, tourism, education, etc. I'd rather hear from you though, on what you consider to be the burning issues of the day. Otherwise this will be too longwinded and unwieldy to read! So please contact me either through this site or via email, phone, WhatsApp or via Facebook or X (formerly Twitter).

The various hustings and events organised by interest groups which I can attend will be posted on my social media and this website. I aim to do some walking and door knocking over the campaign period, but I will most certainly not cover the whole island. Nevertheless I look forward to hearing your views either by email, phone, social media or at and event if not on the doorstep too. I will be writing more about the issues you have raised as they crop up during the campaign on my blog page HERE.
