“No one can really know whether they’re safe or not. A lot of the island want change, so it could be anyone’s vote really,” she said.
The regeneration of abandoned buildings will be her first priority if she is re-elected, including the clearing of Idlerocks.
Cannabis will also be a focus but proportionality is key, she said: “If you wanted to legalise all drugs it would be a big mistake for Guernsey.
“If you had very strict regulations on one drug and make it clear that if it doesn’t work, we can go backwards, then I am all for choice,” said Deputy Oliver.

“Medicinal purposes of cannabis, no problem. My friend has got MS and she was in a wheelchair, now she is back on her sticks. It makes a massive difference to her.”
Recreational cannabis is not an option for the current Home Affairs member: “I wouldn’t want to see 16-year-olds smoking it because it can damage your brain.”
She believes there could be a big change from what the current deputies are used to, but would welcome young people if they have a good understanding of business or economics.
