St. Clement Constable Bi-Election (Simon Bree)

 

Candidate Simon Bree.

On Wednesday 28th July 2021 a bi-election will be held for position of Constable in St. Clement. Thankfully there IS going to be an election for a change. Ten out of the eleven current Constables have not received a single vote between them so this rare opportunity of casting a vote should not be missed.

There are two candidates standing, Simon Bree, and Marcus Troy. Team Voice sent them both an email asking if they would agree to a head-to-head discussion for this Blog and only Mr. Bree has replied to that email, he agreed to a head-to-head, obviously that couldn't happen, so agreed to a one-to-one instead. (below)

Last Wednesday (22nd July 2021) there was an online Hustings meeting with the two candidates at the St. Clement Parish Hall that can be viewed HERE. I have made a complaint to the Parish Hall about the absolutely atrocious Chairing of the meeting. Unfortunately the Parish Hall is being very obstructive and refusing to answer my questions. This will make for a blog Posting of its own soon..........................

In the discussion below, Mr Bree talks about the Hustings, a dirty tricks campaign, planted questions, party politics, a Constable's right to be in the States or not, the Parish Mafia and much more.

We encourage all St. Clement residents to come out and vote this Wednesday where voting will be open from 08:00 - 20:00 at the Parish Hall. Details can be found on vote.je website HERE.

The website of candidate Marcus Troy (according to his leaflet) can be found HERE.

The website of candidate Simon Bree can be found HERE.

Christian May. The Inbetweener(s).

After viewing all election hustings so far during this Senatorial by election, I have noticed that Christian May could have, what looks to be, "involuntary arm movement." I have witnessed this (involuntary arm movement) before but couldn't think where.

Christian claims not to be a part of "The Establishment" and also claims he is not anti-establishment. So I thought; "what could he be?" Then it came to me................ Being a fan of the Inbetweeners TV programme, I realised that he's an Inbetweener, which also reminded me of where I had seen that involuntary arm movement before. It was on an episode of the Inbetweeners. (Series 3 episode 2)
In a very short (35 second) video clip (below) we have squeezed in four separate Hustings Meetings to demonstrate this.

The video below is published in the spirit of light-hearted fun in an attempt to inject a little humour into the political process/By-Election which can get quite ugly at times. In this regard we will NOT be publishing any negative comments against any of the candidates in this Blog Posting.

If you wish to leave a comment supporting your favoured candidate they are:

Alvin Aaron.

Guy De Faye.

Mike Dun.

Sarah Ferguson.

Nick Le Cornu.

Christian May.

Sam Mezec.

Stevie Ocean.

Mary O’Keeffe-Burgher.

Hugh Raymond.

John Young.

All candidates opening speeches (from St. Clement Hustings) can be viewed HERE. Not forgetting you can also vote for your preferred candidate on the poll situated at the left hand-side of this page.

Jersey By Election 2016 (2) St. Clement Husting.

In part two of our by election series we offer video recordings of the candidates opening speeches (and in one case "closing" speech) at last nights hustings at St. Clement Parish Hall.

In part one of this series we conducted a poll where readers could vote for their preferred candidate. We started the poll before nomination night and before all candidates had declared so not all candidates were included in the poll. We have now started another poll (on the left hand side of the page) with all candidates included so why not give your preferred candidate a vote? Including Kim Jong-Un or none of the above?

The previous poll received in excess of 300 votes, the results of which can be seen below.

Jersey by-election September 2016.

As most islanders will be aware there is a Senatorial (Island-Wide) by-election underway and a number of people have declared their candidacy already.

VFC has added a poll on the left-hand-side of the main page of this Blog in order to gauge readers views, or a kind of straw-poll if you like.

There are also a couple of rumoured candidates who we have added to the poll and will add further names as candidates declare.

If your favoured candidate is on the poll then give them a vote.

Nomination night is at the St Helier Town Hall at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday 9 August 2016. The election, and votes will be counted on, Wednesday 7 September 2016.
