Deputy Montfort Tadier is a Jersey politician, born 28 November 1979 in St Helier. He is a Member of the States of Jersey.[1]
He was elected in November 2008 as Deputy for the district of St Brelade No. 2, which consists of the vingtaines of La Moye and Les Quennevais. He gained one of the two seats in the district, coming second with 758 votes from a field of 8 candidates.
Though the Jersey Government does not operate a formal system of Party Politics (the vast majority of members having been elected as independents), he identifies himself with Green, Social Democratic and Socialist politics.
He is a founding member of the political pressure group Time4Change, which was formed in the response to the revelations, in early 2008, that systemic child abuse had occurred in a local care home during the 1960s-1980s. The group campaigns on various issues to do with constitutional reform, tax reform, social and environmental issues.
He was educated in the island at La Moye, Les Quennevais and Hautlieu schools, before gaining a BA(Hons) in Modern Languages from the University of Sheffield, UK.
Since 2009 he has been running his own blogsite which can be viewed at www.mtadier.blogspot.com
