This article is sourced mainly by election manifesto, BBC Radio Jersey website news and the Jersey Evening Post, the main newspaper for Jersey. No personal information about the individuals family - even if it appears on the manifesto, and is therefore in the public domain - is mentioned here in order to preserve privacy --TonyinJersey 14:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the waste disposal issuing is worth mentioning as a factor of seat loss, is the you-know-what scandal at all mentionable? Man vyi 19:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Dorey himself attributed waste disposal to his seat loss, and that is very public domain. I am not sure that the scandal with customs is mentionable; no one attributed that to his seat loss, and I'd not really like to put something like that about a living person in a world-wide accessed area. If I do a Wiki on Peter Manton, I might mention the scandal in his case, as that was a direct cause of his leaving office, and he is now dead, and cannot be hurt by the knowledge.

I'll leave it up to others to add a mention if they wish. Man vyi 06:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it from MA to MA(Oxon) they are subtley different qualifications but an MA(Oxon) was automatically granted one year after completing a BA from Oxford University at the time.

Let's not speculate on why he lost his seat because we simply do not know we can't have asked everyone who voted.

I would say it is because he tried to follow the official government line when the voters of his district were not happy with that direction for Jersey. I grant you the green waste debate was the main issue but there were other reasons.
