    With Guernsey's election just around the corner, Matthew and Luke look at the key issues highlighted in candidate manifestos. Chief among them, whether to back or scrap the introduction of a Goods and Services Tax.

    They also speak to the outgoing Deputy Chief Minister, Heidi Soulsby, who admits even she hasn't found enough reasons to use all 38 votes.
