Senator Sam Mezec says the current system is "undemocratic"Image caption: Senator Sam Mezec says the current system is "undemocratic"
States members are set to vote again on the future role of the Bailiff - amid continued calls for an elected speaker to preside over political debates.
With Sir William Bailhache due to retire in October, Senator Sam Mezec has put forward plans aimed at splitting the Bailiff's dual role.
It comes a day after Deputy Russell Labey admitted his Privileges and Procedures Committee colleagues had rejected a plan he had been working on and come to a "compromise".
Senator Mezec says it's "undemocratic" to have an unelected judge make rulings on what elected States members can or cannot do on behalf of their constituents.
Politicians will have their say in the next few months.
Deputy calls for more transparency in housing market
BBC Radio Jersey
A Jersey deputy is set to ask politicians to agree to set up a register showing who owns every property in the island.
Deputy Mike Higgins says States members can see the names of individual people who buy property, when it passes through the Royal Court.
But when it comes to companies or trusts buying property, politicians cannot see who ultimately benefits from them.
He hopes a register, which he insists would not be public, would prove how many outside investors own property in the island.
It's something he believes is "pushing up prices".

Jersey and Guernsey have banned the Boeing 737 Max from flying over their airspace.
They join a long list of countries in suspending the plane, including the UK, to "ensure passenger safety".
It comes after an Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed on Sunday, killing 157 people on board. It was the second fatal accident involving the 737 Max 8 model in less than five months.
In a letter dated 13 March, the Channel Islands' director of civil aviation said the ban would come in "with immediate effect".
Dominic Lazarus added it would continue until "further evidence" was available from the investigation into the cause of the Ethiopian Airlines crash.
US officials say the aircraft are still safe to fly.

Prisoners at La Moye could be given the opportunity to work in farms and hotels.
The idea is being considered by the Home Affairs minister to help prisoners learn new skills.

Drone control will not follow UK
BBC Radio Guernsey
Restrictions for flying drones in Guernsey airspace will not change despite new laws in the UK.
It's illegal to fly a drone within three miles of an airport in the UK - rather than the previous restriction of just over half a mile.
Director of Civil Aviation, Dominic Lazarus, said he's more than happy with Guernsey's current two-mile restriction.
