[edit] Lord Connétable

Cities don't automatically get Lord Mayors or Lord Provosts - although Lord Connétable exudes a certain unique cachet, n'est-che pon? Man vyi 13:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bailiff

The powers of the Bailiff may continue to be pared away, a situation that the current incumbent Sir Phillip Bailhache himself advocated in an article for the Jersey Law Society.

He continues for the time being to chair States debates but his future in the States must be coming to an end, even if the status quo were permissible under Jersey’s international obligations, the absurdity of paying someone so much to complete a task that is menial for a man of his undoubted abilities does not square with a government committed to cutting waste from its expenditure.

Too much comment and, dare I say, wishful thinking, rather than encyclopaedic content. Certainly the powers of the Bailiff have dwindled drastically since the days of the hereditary Bailiffs, and the reader might reasonably draw a conclusion as to the historical inevitability of the process from an explanation of the historical development. Producing a manifesto-like set of statements is somewhat tendentious, though. Man vyi 18:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, you prodded me into writing up some historical background! Man vyi 12:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
