THE winds of change blew through the States Chamber this week as voters cast out nine politicians and drafted in 16 new faces.
A host of established political names have bitten the dust – among them 33-year States veteran Terry Le Main, ‘foreign minister’ Freddie Cohen and Transport Minister Mike Jackson – as a new wave of politicians took up seats in the States.
At the crest of that new wave is a man who is no stranger to the States Chamber – Sir Philip Bailhache, who topped the poll with 17,538 votes, taking up a new role as a Senator having served as Bailiff, Attorney General and Grouville Deputy between 1972 and 2009.
