Three assemblies, three different structures

The islands share close constitutional and economic ties, but their legislatures are not interchangeable. Seat totals below count voting offices in each assembly; Edward Hill and Alex Snowdon appear in both the Alderney and Guernsey contexts because they hold dual representative roles.

How to use this comparison

A raw member count does not measure democratic quality or workload. The tracker therefore reports structure and public records without combining them into a cross-island score.
