Better Way 2022, also known as A Better Way,[a] was a group of independent politicians in Jersey who agreed common principles and pledged to work collaboratively ahead of the 2022 general election.[2] It was not registered as a political party.
Common principles
[edit]The group's stated principles were:[3]
- the Assembly should be responsive to the needs of the people of Jersey;
- decisions should be sustainable and evidence based, balancing social, economic and environmental wellbeing;
- public spending should be affordable now and for future generations;
- diversity should be valued, recognising the potential of every member of our community;
- Jersey should play a positive and relevant role internationally; and
- businesses and entrepreneurial skills should be supported to generate financial growth and stability.
2022 general election and government
[edit]Better Way was founded in March 2022 ahead of the 2022 general election.[4] Five Better Way-aligned candidates stood for Deputy, of whom four were elected to the States Assembly.[5][6]
All four went on to hold ministerial or assistant ministerial positions. They included Kristina Moore, who served as Chief Minister of Jersey from July 2022 until January 2024.[7][8]
