Manifesto
The Economy
Championing a diverse, economy that supports local jobs, attracts global investment, and delivers long-term prosperity.
Backing our key industries: financial services, tourism, local businesses and digital innovation.
Education: That Raises Ambition
Every child deserves access to an outstanding education, we’re not there yet.
We need a system that inspires excellence, is fit for our island’s future, and attracts new families to Guernsey.
Ensures no student leaves school without a pass in English and Maths, these are life skills.
Explore means-tested bursaries for high-achieving students in the States system to access College places.
Housing: A Top Priority
Housing is a major barrier to retaining talent and growing our economy.
We need to remove any barriers to progress and support more affordable, accessible housing for all.
Push forward the work of the new Housing Committee and Guernsey Housing Forum to deliver change early in the next term.
Infrastructure
Essential investment in our harbours and airport.
Further the Pool Marina.
Develop a deep-water berth to improve port resilience and enable critical land-sea infrastructure links.
Government That Works Better
We need to improve how the States operates, faster decisions, fewer committees, better leadership.
Review the role of States Trading.
Be open to reform, but guard against concentrating power in too few hands.
Look to right size Government, ensure we are operating within our means, address our tax deficit and strategically look at the size and cost of our Civil Service including Health and Education.
Tax: Fair, Balanced & Sustainable
No to GST it is not right for Guernsey and doesn’t fit our values.
Tackle the deficit with a package of sustainable tax measures not just one blunt instrument.
Review the individual tax cap and ensure all contribute fairly.
Maximise the opportunities from global tax changes like Pillar II/ zero 15 and understand the true revenue potential.
Bring all of the above into a tax review before any GST is implemented.
Connectivity: Reliable & Resilient
Secure reliable, affordable air and sea links to support residents, businesses and tourism.
Review Guernsey’s air route policy and improve island air resilience – including EMAS technology to futureproof our runway.
Push for direct links to key hubs like Heathrow – vital for economic growth.
Keep building Guernsey’s travel links and make us more attractive to other carriers.
