Guernsey Politicians’ Salary Adjustments and Upcoming 2025 Election
Recent discussions in Guernsey have centered around salary adjustments for politicians, sparking interest ahead of the upcoming 2025 election. The decision marks an important shift in remuneration for deputies, setting the tone for governance in the next term.
Politicians Vote on Salary Adjustments
Recently, a decision was made to alter the salaries of politicians in Guernsey. The majority of political figures voted in favor of a change that would result in pay reductions for most deputies. This adjustment has been part of a long-running conversation about fair compensation for public officials.
While early reports suggested a £4,000 bonus for deputies, this claim has since been clarified, with adjustments leaning more towards restructuring rather than additional bonuses.
Upcoming Guernsey Election 2025

Salary Comparisons in Historical Context
Historically, salary discussions for politicians have been a topic of debate. Documents such as the 1919 Congressional Record and 1911 Congressional Record show that the topic of lawmaker compensation is not new and has evolved over the decades.
Fair Pay Debates Extend Beyond Politics
While political salaries have been revised, fair pay campaigns are also gaining traction in other sectors. The nursing sector in Guernsey has been actively campaigning for fair wages, reflecting a broader trend of financial reassessment across public services.
Setting the Stage for Political Engagement
The launch of the official 2025 election website and related events will play a crucial role in ensuring public awareness and engagement. With salary structures now updated, potential candidates and voters alike can make informed decisions about the future leadership of Guernsey.
Conclusion
As government plans continue to unfold, the question of political salaries and public service compensation remains central to the conversation. With elections on the horizon, the balance between fair pay and responsible governance will be a key issue for both politicians and the public.
