In 2008, towards the end of the Constitution review process that resulted in our current Constitution, one of the drafting team was asked:
“The changes that are being proposed are by the Governor who wants it in by election time in next year. It hasn't necessarily come from the people.” (St Helena Herald, 21st Nov. 2008, page 6).
You could ask exactly the same question today.
And the answer was, basically, that full consultation would take too much time, which is also exactly the answer you would get if you asked this question today.
So they are getting it wrong in 2020 just like they did in 2008!
Impressive (but sadly not surprising).
