Politics Of Alderney
Politics of Alderney takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic British Crown dependency, whereby the President of the States of Alderney is the head of government. Alderney is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey but is largely self-governing. History Before the 1949 reforms, Alderney's legislature had no political affiliation as all positions in the States of Alderney (French: États d'Aurigny) were appointed. It consisted of the Governor of Alderney, until the holder in 1825 sold it back to the Crown and no further appointments were made, the Judge of Alderney, six Jurats, Alderney's court officers, a Douzainier-Delegate and four Douzainiers appointed by the Alderney ratepayers. In 1923, the first democratically elected members were created with three People's Deputies being added to the States of Alderney. Until the reform of 1948, the States of Alderney consisted of: * Governor of Alderney (vacant from 1825) *the Judge (appointed by the Cro ...
