Senator Zoe Cameron has resigned from the States of Jersey.

A by-election will be held to fill the vacant Senatorial seat.
The concerns of the Jersey public are not being listened to by politicians, according to Senator Zoe Cameron who has resigned from the States this morning.
Explaining her reasons for quitting politics, she said she was hoping her experience as a doctor would be useful in government - although Senator Cameron was not chosen to be part of the Heath and Social Services ministerial team.

She's told ITV News that it is not easy enough for the public to talk directly to Ministers.
The weekend event coincides with International Pride Month and the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
The scheme has been backed by the island's Lieutenant-Governor, and is the first of its kind in the Channel Islands.
