Well, personally, I can't understand Dylan's dislike of Sean (the man or the policies, I'm not sure where the beef actually lies).

Spare a thought for us in St Helier No 3. We've got Guy De Faye in our district. I'd give my eye teeth for Sean to stand in St Helier no 3 as opposed to Guy De Faye. Dyl, you should count yourself lucky mate!

Now, get down the Hare and Hounds and have an alcohol fuelled love-in together. Either that, or get a room!

The pot smokin rabbit getting all frisky with the little Irish fella?

On election night? 

It would have to be the L'orizon. Scene of the very first Council of Ministers pyjama party / sleep over at yours and my expense.

[Sean Power]

On election night, the 26th, I will be buying my campaign volunteers a drink at the Horse and Hounds from about 10.00pm on. The St. Brelade No. 2 count is not likely to declare much before 2215.  I think Colin, the landlord was working on an extension to Midnight.

So, whether I am celebrating or drowning my sorrows, It is the Horse and Hounds for me. 

Besides, the l'Horizon is not really my territory. I think I have been in there half a dozen times in 25 years.

Do you think that candidates should declare their drinking preferences?

Obviously, someone who goes to L'Horizon is more likely to be a champagne drinker, or maybe even a claret drinker like Roy Jenkins? And have money to burn as well.

Whereas the more modest candidate is likely to drink beer in a pub, which is generally more sociable. Unless they are a lady, in which case a more genteel drink would be suitable.

Where do you think the other candidates of St Brelade would be placed on a "drinking scale?"

Mervin Le Masurier looks definitely like a port and lemon drinker to me.
Martha Bernstein might probably be a sweet sherry
Richard De La Haye - lemonade (as a cab driver)
Montfort Tadier - a French red wine
Jeff Hathaway - best bitter (probably Mary Ann when it comes back)
Sean Power - ?

The electorate are entitled to elemental honesty.
That is to say honesty from the heart which is genuine.
We have far too often seen examples of dishonesty, mischeviousness, spin (and I'm not talking about magnetic moment), fabrications, manufactured scenarios, cooked up manifestos, made up stories, inventions of policies, distortions of the truth, CV's blown out of proportion, cover ups and general "not in the public's interest" comments as well as indolence and downright scurrilousness to give us a bellyful. PDT check out the comments on Lord De Faye as a point in question.
I beleive that we have a right to ask for integrity as a basic staple of politicians. The rub is that unless we weed out the thin ends of these wedges, this extravagent disease will be growing and ever present in political society.
Honesty is not a thing to be trifled with in Politics, however small. Failure on behalf of the electorate to eradicate it leads us back to where we started, just new faces. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply in denial.
I won't be coming down to the Horse and Hound Sean, I'm not into pub brawls

So your'e a lover not a fighter. L'horizon might still be on the cards then? 

[The Rev Peter Sarkey]

I'll always give the laydees the vote

I can understand exemptions from food on GST could end up as a bureaucratic nightmare (what is "food"?), but domestic energy (JEC, Gas, Coal, Domestic Oil) is surely a lot easier to identify and exclude, without too much hassle, and with JEC prices set to rise by 25% (or nearly 26% with GST), I think it is time to reconsider. Also school uniforms can be readily identified, and could easily be excluded. By looking at the exclusions in the worse possible light - think UK and Jaffa cakes! - it seems the issue has not received enough consideration by Sean.

[Sean Power]

Tony,

My view is adhere to the KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid. Not you Tony.

At the moment, we have an unwelcome tax. However, it would be more unwelcome if a demand for exemptions gave leverage to a future Treasury Minister to raise the base rate.

My view is that a simple tax across the board is easier and cheaper to administer.  Any exemption will mean hiring more adminstrative staff at Treasury.

Do we want to go down that road and follow the UK nightmare VAT model ?

The simple view would be, not to have the tax at all, curtail states spending and instead of levying the loss of exempt company income against the population, the fee could have been added to the annual registration fee for companies whose income isn't realised within the island.
