Very interesting he says rubbing chin, game on, as the top man points his finger at the line up. I want you, you and you and…………on my team.
No sign of Senator Bailhache or Ozouf yet but trust me ( then again why should you ) they are not far away, pulling strings, networking in an effort to get their hands on the power they crave. The game has just begun, not ended.
Further if you or I, were in Senator Gorst position, we would know the players far better, and although making his choice for a CoM has IMO overlooked far more efficient people, for the wrong reasons. Knowing it was going to be a close fight did he make deals before the election for CM probably but clearly he is wrong in choice for health Minister.
To date a lack lustre indeed stumbling performance from Anne Pryke at one of Jerseys heavy weight spending departments gives little confidence to islanders, which will reflect on the Government generally.
I state openly that there are politicians I email or pmail on here as do many other blogers who have concerns. This applies to Sarah Ferguson who is a long time member of pj and gave an interview to the very professional VFC blog.
IMO Sarah Ferguson who is chair of Coporate Scrutiny would be far better as Health Minister for several reasons.
Health has a massive budget of £169 million. Ferguson, like Gorst is excellent at understanding figures and can read a balance sheet, and this helps see the bigger picture.
Nice but gullable Anne Pryke at the helm has not been at all impressive. Try not to have a child that will need ongoing medical treatment after the age of three. Health say the parents will have to find the money, until the story went public catching them out, yet again, confirming that they are out of touch with reality, and the public.
I hope Senator Ferguson is proposed and supported for the position, being a tough lady, as Anne Pryke has clearly tried, but failed.
