These are our "representatives" who voted against Deputy Tadier's Amendment to Deputy Hill's Amendment to P19/2011. Deputy Tadier's Amendment simply asks "Was a consistent and impartial approach taken when deciding on which cases to prosecute; and was the process free from political influence or interference at any level?”.

Remember the wording "Was a consistent and impartial approach taken when deciding on which cases to prosecute; and was the process free from political influence or interference at any level?”.
Why would these 21 politicians want to vote against that? Surely they understand that "justice" has to be "seen" to be done..........Don't they? If the island's population don't have confidence in the judicial system then that is a huge problem.
Thankfully the Amendment was successful, with 27 voting in favour of it. But doesn't this give the Council of Ministers and Law Office(r)s a bit of a dilemma?
If the Law Office(r)s are going to be under investigation/review by the Committee of Inquiry then won't that make them (the Law Office(r)s) conflicted in giving any advice, legal or otherwise, to the Council of Ministers concerning anything to do with the Committee of Inquiry?
