The one thing we can learn from history is to expect the unexpected: I have covered most of the expected subjects in my manifesto.Ìý My aim here is to give you a taster of my thinking, but more importantly to demonstrate to you that I am qualified to adapt, exploit and manage the unexpected challenges ahead that will surely develop.

Through a series of bungles, overspends and bickering the States has lost public support.Ìý The next States must regain that trust and deliver fair and equitable policies.

I aim to represent the ordinary, law abiding, respectful yet frustrated families.Ìý We want the lights to stay on, jobs, our children to prosper in a safe world, we want to face retirement with confidence and to get better when we are ill.Ìý

I will:

*ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Safeguard our way of life by nurturing our economy and balancing it with our needs.Ìý This includes sticking with the zero ten strategy.
*ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Develop and implement the Government Business Plan and start prioritizing spending.
*ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Be tough on crime.
*ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Support open government.
*ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Back climate change initiatives in a practical way.
*ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Be a children’s champion.
