Remember the independent expert election observers who were invited to oversee Guernsey’s first island-wide election?
They’ve just published their report and were disappointed by the fall in the number of female Deputies from 12 to eight.

We look forward to discussing those measures with the States Assembly and Constitution Committee and will be happy to help promote them to women across the Island.
