Jersey's only politicial party says it supports fresh calls for government reform.

A proposition has been lodged to use the result of the island's 2013 referendum, which was never implemented, and reduce the number of politicians in the States to 32 Senators and 12 Constables.

It would also see the island's voting districts change to six large constituencies.

Members of Reform Jersey say they will back Deputy Andrew Lewis' proposition, despite thinking it 'falls short' of what they would ideally like to see.
