  • Composition and Election of the States Assembly: Options for Change
    STATES OF JERSEY r COMPOSITION AND ELECTION OF THE STATES ASSEMBLY: OPTIONS FOR CHANGE Presented to the States on 11th December 2006 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee STATES GREFFE 2006 Price code: C R.97 2 REPORT Introduction The Privileges and Procedures Committee undertook to bring forward proposals for changes to the current composition of the States Assembly shortly after taking office in December 2005. The Chairman gave an undertaking to bring forward proposals during his speech in December 2005 when he was appointed and the Chief Minister, during the question period that took place during his appointment process, agreed that this was a matter that had to be tackled following the introduction of the new system of government. During its initial consideration of the issues involved the Committee realised that there were many varying interpretations of what public opinion was on this subject. There was anecdotal evidence from letters and comments in the media, the MORI Poll undertaken for the Clothier Panel, the outcome of the series of parish meetings held by the then Policy and Resources Committee in 2001, and evidence from the personal experience of members of the States during election campaigns or other dealings with their constituents. PPC concluded that it would be extremely difficult to bring forward proposals unless there was a more rigorous and scientific assessment of public opinion on these issues. The Committee therefore commissioned Ipsos-MORI (MORI) to undertake a survey of public opinion. The survey was undertaken according to proper rigorous statistical methodology and the number of residents interviewed, namely 1,295, represented a substantial proportion of the Island’s population for a survey of this nature.
