UDI for Guernsey?

A leading Guernsey Advocate has today barely fallen short of proposing the island declares UDI perhaps in conjunction with the rest of the Channel Islands.

The frustration arises from continued interference by the UK into constitutional matters within Guernsey.

He points out that the island never set out to be a so called 'tax haven', it has evolved into a low tax jurisdiction primarily by adopting prudent fiscal policies that many - including the UK - would do well to emulate.

Guernsey people are proud of their independence and this call for a 'movement' to sponsor a major change in the relationship with the UK is likely to receive popular support locally.
