Election 2006 - Promises? Broken Promises!

Saturday, 25 June 2011 11:29 PAG

About one month before the November 2006 General Election we contacted all candidates with a single page Questionnaire based on the PAG Charter.

To each question they could either tick 'agree' or 'disagree' or 'undecided'. In addition there was a space for comments on each question.

Well, did they keep their promises to us? The answer is a resounding NO!

Here's the analysis of our MHKs responses to a few of our questions:

Do you agree to work to achieve the following changes as soon as possible after November 23rd 2006?	Agree	Disagree	Don't Know
That the Legislative Council is popularly elected by the people	19	0	0
That a Freedom of information Act is implemented	17	1	1
Will you ACTIVELY develop and support measures to ensure the items you "AGREE" with above are implemented?	13	1	5

19 Responses: 14 completed questionnaire, 5 by letter (Anderson, Brown, Craine, Gill, Teare)

DID NOT REPLY:

Bell, Henderson, Karran, Corkish, Cregeen

So, overwhelming support on paper before an Election for two important issues, but amnesiac inactivity in the 5 years following it.

Any readers who would like to know the response of their MHK to our questionnaire please e mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will be pleased to give you the information.
