Hmmmm Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 A wind of change would be refreshing - out with the bluster and staid outlook. I believe the compisition of the Keys and Legislative lends itself to JPW being CM. That in turn should lead to some interesting ministerial appointments. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maintaining the status quo is the last thing I want No experience as an MHK doesn't mean anything - if that's the case let's have Joney as First Minister now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell if true but would fit in with his Conservative roots . Privatisation is disastrous for the Island - as I keep on pointing out the Department that has done it the most is DoI and the endless messes you see are in large part because of that. Putting your trust in the private sector to deliver services. when those services are essential. results in enormous profits for them and poor, expensive services and massive debt for the taxpayer. And bloated government bureaucracy that fails to do its job because of chummy relationships with their favourites. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if its done as it should be will mean lots of CS jobs would be redundant so will be interesting if he gets CM and to see what happens .Oh and not sure what DOI has done is privatisation just dumped stuff on contractors and failed to oversee the contracts .

There is a difference between managing staff and managing contracts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well we will see on Tuesday who is going forward whoever it is I hope they keep a closer eye on those who award contracts to people who do not deliver….flumes…promenade etc and also sort out planning. The Health service is the biggest concern because it affects everyone. A challenge for whoever gets the job indeed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a whole pile of civil servants redundant will cause all kinds of issues and force even more people to leave the Island. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily a bad thing. There are some in the civil service who need to be cleared out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to fix the massive structural issues in the civil service by inviting them all to tea and bein nicey nicey about it. Somebody has to to take an axe too it.
